1. If I could only have a 50mm lens or an 85mm lens, I think I'd have to go with the 50mm. The 85mm f1.8 and the 50mm f1.4 are similarly priced.
2. Dan's mom said that they got that pink Hollister shirt from a Hollister store in Washington awhile back and the polka dot rubber boots are from Fred Meyer.
3. Ross really got the short end of the stick with that hair.
4. The armoire in my living room is from Target (I think they still carry them).
5. I'll try to remember to get some more pictures of my house (although, it's nothing impressive at all...really...I'll have to get pics to prove it's lack of impressiveness).
6. Annie gave me a big kiss when I showed up at daycare yesterday...and then she hit me when she realized that I was taking her home.
7. I'm in Philly next weekend at Memory Lane . I think there might be spots left in the Picture This class (not sure though) and they opened up a second Photography Q&A class, which I think has a few spots left too. I shipped a bunch of extra kits to the store though, so if you couldn't get into one of the classes, you can pick up a kit from the store. I am soooooo looking forward to this trip.
8. And most importantly, if anyone would like to make a donation in honor of Pam Krenzke, Betsy's adoptive mom, Faith is doing a walk to remember their family (all donations are going to Hospice, who cared for Pam and her boys).
9. I try really hard not to miss any questions (but I'm sure I still do), so if I have overlooked something you asked, feel free to post it again here.
10. I can't think of a #10.
Are you going to start doing wedding photography at all? :) Or even engagement pics?

Karen....the Canon fixed 50mm f/1.8 is a miracle lens! That, combined with the AP mode/1600 ISO strategy for low-light indoor photos has proven to be a magical recipe. My friends have really appreciated the beauty of these mere snapshots of their kids, and I have you to thank! I especially love the 'movie moment' quality I see in them. Thanks for all the great advice, and I can't recommend your photography class highly enough!

#8 - I clicked your blog link and read again your post about Pam. So much tragedy in one family. (How cute is that phot oof Bobby and Eric.) I'm grateful for my family and our health (and faith) and made a donation. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Hi Karen,
I have two seats to both classes on Saturday. I was suppose to drive up from VA to attend but my job is not give me the weekend off as of yet. If you know of anyone that might be interested please spread the word. I have tried to work with the store but they told me that they didn't have a waiting list and I was never told about the added class. :( If anything I hope I can have my kits mailed to me. I was truly looking forward to meeting you and taking one of your classes... but it isn't in the stars.

It's so lucky for me to find your blog! So shocking and great! Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.
