Ow! Ow! Ow!

The problem with the compact digital cameras is that they take a long time to get a shot off. As many parents have noted, children just don't keep that cute expression on their face for that long.

A good digital SLR doesn't have this problem. Of course, a good digital SLR isn't cheap.

But you only get one chance to get these photos. So that whiff of smoke you smell is coming from my credit card...

And at least I've solved the problem of what daisy_knotwise is getting me for Christmas. (Yes, she knows I was planning to do this.)
