Congratulations to Meredee on getting her first DSLR camera! She had been contemplating what to do with her annual bonus check and even offered to put it toward paying bills. But I told her it should be used for something that she wanted and would enjoy because she had been so sacrificial with other money we’d be given. When she told me she was thinking about buying a camera, I was rather surprised. I didn’t even know she had been contemplating purchasing one! She must trust my judgment, because as soon as I recommended the Nikon D90, she decided that would be her camera.

Her new toy arrived today, a day early, and she’s already taking a liking to it. As I speak she’s in the other room looking for anything to shoot–candles, pots & pans, bananas, etc.

Mer teases me that I have the coolest wife in the world. How many other women would buy a camera in such a situation? I tease her back reminding her that not many people begin learning photography with access to the two professional $1600+ lenses I have.

Not only is my wife’s purchase guy-ishly cool, it’s also something I enjoy and can use as a business backup. Also, we’ll have fun as I teach her photography and have her accompany me on some shoots. Plus, the camera shoots 720p video–something mine cannot do! I do have the best wife in the world.
