a bit of a disappointing day

So, my local camera shop, Henry's, was having a big gift certificate giveaway today. they were giving out 99 gift certificates with values ranging from $10 to $500(!) to the first 99 people through the door! So, i wake up extra early (for a day off) and head out with book and mp3 player in hand. I got there at around 8:15am (doors open at 10am). I was the sixth person in line. I tried to not get my hopes up on getting the big gift certificate because I didnt want to jinx it. But in my mind I had visions of getting a lens, or a new camera bag, or the D80 battery grip! At around 9:15am, my fiance calls and offers to bring me some water and a couple of cookies, i accept. she packs up the baby and comes and meets me, and being the loving person she is, she offers to stand in line at the end and get another certificate for me! Anyways, i finally got in, and picked my gift certificate, hold my breath and open it, and its for $10!!! Ah well, there is still Dayna's, right?? Well, she got a $10 dollar one as well. So, in the end we got $20 bucks. No lens for me. I got a lens hood for my 18-55 lens, and a Giottos rocket blower to go with my lens pen. Better than nothing, but i was a little disappointed to say the least!

I took a couple of shots over the last few days, mostly of Dayna and Levi. Here are a couple:





Well, thats if for today! I am trying to make it downtown to take some building shots and the likes, hopefully i can do that this coming week! And if anyone wants to donate to my cause, let me know (ha ha)
