Go Ana!

Grace Park rocks. And this is what it’s all about (she knows her drinks!):

And a bit more fun behind the Vancouver sound stage:

My niece, 2 years old, a little before the terrible-twos really kicks in. Trying to figure out her hand-eye coordination. :-D

It’s official: I want an entry level digital SLR, and I would like it to be a Nikon D40 (well, actually the D50 is nice but pricier). And I would like to teach myself how to use it properly and shoot better. Uhhhh, E, can I have a higher allowance? :)

Check out these pictures shot with a D40.

[update] So it looks like the Canon EOS350D is the counterpart to the Nikon D40. It shoots and reloads faster, so to speak, and starts up in 0.2 seconds or less. The lens that comes with it is apparently not as good, and neither is the plastic body construction. It’s also more expensive, but image quality seems to be better (that’s vague, of course, because it also depends on the photographer and which settings were being used). Hmmm, it will be interesting to see what Canon comes up with this year or next in response to the Nikon. I might have to make a trip to Kerrisdale Camera and try both out to see.

I just got pee’d on by a little girl while on a public bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. She almost made it too! We were 5 minutes from the arrival station! Oh well, I guess accidents happen when you’re that age, heh.
