Okay, I am a pretty selfish, self-centered person. Please pretend that is surprising to you so we can move on. As I've mentioned before, I think Bryce takes really good pictures. I think there is some potential there for him to do something with, and perhaps turn a fun hobby into something more. I even started a little blog that has my favorite pictures he's taken. (Click here to see them.) We just have a dinky digital camera, which is fine, but I've seen what he can do with a nice one. He used his Uncle David's (a.k.a. professional photographer) camera once and the results were pretty good. So I wrote to David secretly about a month ago, just asking his recommendation on the best price I could get for a really good camera. I was thinking after I saved some money, I could get it for Christmas or Bryce's birthday in May. He wrote me back to tell me about a Pentax digital with a 28-300mm lens. This is a really good camera (I mean, so I'm told, what do I know about cameras?), and David got a really awesome price on it. So through a lot of back and forth between David, Mary Ann and I, and details about money that I don't really know all about, it's now here. (If you are reading, thank you soooo much, David and Mary Ann!) Bryce was so surprised, because it was a completely random gesture on my part. I don't do random acts of kindness often, in fact maybe never, but it felt pretty good. And hopefully it will give him something to focus on, enjoy, and get even better.

Maybe I can hire him for a much needed family photo after he's had some practice. Can you say extra $$$$?
Congrats on the camera. I'll have to go check out Bryce's pictures next.
I can't wait to see more pictures from him.
Ya'lls family is so beautiful!! I love reading your blog and finding out more about you. I didn't know you loved to write.
