She’s gone mega-digital, folks!!!
And this camera is so rockin that even *I* can look good in a picture!!!
That’s right…a treat to myself for living through 8 months of utter disability torture. Because…drumroll please…MY DISABILITY WAS FINALLY APPROVED!!! (ps Laura O - this was the secret!) And that means mega check. Which means Tracey gets mega camera because I deserve every last freakin pixel of it! Granted, the insurance company still has not completely decided whether I will continue to receive benefits, but, because they have taken so long, they did decide to backpay me to this point. I’m not completely out of the woods yet, but this certainly is a HUGE start!
So anyway, back to my wonderfully photogenic life. Do you like them? I even washed and blew my hair dry, and put make-up on. To look pretty for my camera! (Actually, is was to take bio pictures for Scrapvillage and Paper Heart. 
) These were taken w/ the 50mm f/1.8 lens. I also got a 28-135mm w/ image stability…actually I think the pic of Em above was taken w/ that one. Rockin lenses, too, folks!
Ahhhhhh, heaven, I tell you.
Oh Yeah!! Major jealous here! LOL! You are beautiful!! Love the picture and LOVE the new banner too!! Enjoy the new camera!!

Great photos!!! I bought that camera for myself for Christmas, and have just started playing….and I really love it!!!! Congrats on disability too, I went through that and 8 years later I am going through it again as it was cancelled and the company was sued by all 50 states and required to apply different standards to all of the policys they cancelled, so since I am totally disabled as per SS I should get the benefits back and back pay as well. Gotta love the system!

Woo hoo and finally!! Did you get the DigReb or the 20D? Andy got me that 50mm lens for Xmas and I love it.
PS: I need PS Elements lessons ASAP, and it appears that you are good at it.
