My daughter took this picture from our vehicle driving down the highway. She has a good eye and wants more than anything a nice fancy professional camera. This is one area I have struggled with every since she announced she wanted to be a photographer. On one hand I as her mother want her to have everything she ever wanted and her not to go without anything. But I know this is only spoiling her. So I have decided on this one because of her tendancy to not have a work ethic (no matter how hard I try to instill it) I am making her figure out how to get this camera of her dreams all on her own. We helped her buy a basic digital camera about two years ago and she has put it to good use. But like my camera's it can only do so much and if a photographer is what you want to be you need a better one. I would love to have one myself but I can't fathom spending hundreds of dollars right now on a camera. Never mind that my husband keeps buying me crappy cheap ones he finds and I end up being so frustrated with the stupid things that I just don't take pictures of my kids like I used to. There are huge blocks of time lately and I've not taken not one picture! But I digress sorry. If this is truley what she wants then she will be willing to work for it and save. I apparently have been lapsed in instilling this in her or all of them for that matter, well I take that back my boy is a true worker through and through but the girls yeah well not so much! Anything worth having is worth working for right?
Live, Love, Laugh!

We caved, although it isn't the wonderfully expensive professional grade camera she was wanting it will get her started and serve her purposes for now. I just hope she is able to appreciate it. I am thinking of enrolling her an I in a Photography class together. I think it would be a nice opportunity for us to do something together. Eating your words for your kids sake hmmm... they don't taste good!
