I think I'll Call Her CeCe

2008.03.04
CeCe


Braden and his snack

Katie and her snack

Of course I had to try the macro mode


colorful toys always make me smile

Why not? People name things all the time. Right!

Today CeCe arrived and I was ecstatic!

For the last 2 months I have researched and researched and asked advice from my photoblog friends, and talked with my mom about it every morning on the way to work and sent my husband e-mail after e-mail about different cameras I might like to save up for. Then one day it happened..........

Some funds came our way and my husband wrote those magic words (in an email) "Honey, why don't you go ahead and get that camera you want!"
I had to read the email three times just to make sure my eyes didn't deceive me.

I quickly wrote him back "I love you. I love you. I love you! I'm going to cook and clean and not complain!" LOL!

He actually printed the e-mail to have proof! LOL :)

Anyway after agonizing over whether to get a Canon or Nikon I went to the camera store and held the Sony a200 in my hand! It fit just right!

So now I have CeCe.

Here are some quick photos I took with her tonight

DancingDolphin You said you'd do WHAT.... a moment of insanity obviously, THAT will be your defense, "insanity"! :-)

How exciting to have a new camera! This blogging thing gets expensive doesn't it? I used to be perfectly satisfied with "anything"... yesterday JR had to go out and by me a super duper tri pod because NOW I want to take night shots with HIS camera.... it never ends! :-)

We will all look forward to seeing many FINE shots from CeCe!

MHJphotos WAHOO!!!! I loved the comment about "cooking and cleaning and not complaining!" Your husband did the right thing to print that email! =)

I'm so excited for you, and happy to have given you a little (and hopefully good!) advice. I think some people get so caught up in 'brands' that they buy certain cameras based solely on name brand alone. The important thing is to hold them as you did! Cece picked you my friend, not the other way around! ;)

Congratulations again buddy ... can't wait to see more of your shots with your new photoblogging companion!

focussed HOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
Im So happy you chose a Sony.....welcome to the club.....Memebers? - me and you...lol....my A700 is my baby. I am SO happy with that camera. Well done for looking beyond the "brand"......Sony have some fabulous history and technology behind them thanks to Minolta. But your right,..most important thing is the feel.Cant wait to see you photos !

oldbabe Wow! We shall be expecting great things now! (Well, greater things now). But CeCe?
I'm not sure I could do that deal for a camera...cook AND clean w/o complaining? Good luck with that! How are you going to have time with a new camera?

TheCrazyCroat Cece is gorgeous!! Congrats! Give your husband a big pat on the back from me. He sounds a lot how my husband is and so supportive of my little hobby.
TheCrazyCroat · 2008-03-06: 09:22
lexlevans oh my gosh!! that is beyond exciting!! and i have to admit to being very jealous! :-) i'm saving for a digital SLR too. and i think it's quite appropriate to name your camera - it's like a pet!

and seriously, can katie have more gorgeous eyes?? and that killer smile! that girl is hot stuff - you better watch out for those boys who are probably already after her, momma. ;-)
lexlevans · 2008-03-06: 10:56
