The UPS guy came. I can now begin my pursuit of shocking coolness.

October 30, 2009   |   by Rachel

For the past several months there has been something standing in between myself and total unhindered coolness.  Yesterday the UPS man arrived to deliver my instant-rock-star-in-a-box lens.  I was so excited about its delivery I posted signs on both doors so that I wouldn't miss him.  I showered with my robe next to the shower and the bathroom door open.  Sure enough, bang bang bang, I jumped my soapy self into my robe and to the door to sign for this beautiful piece of glass.  Oh I am sooo excited! Now that I own this wide angle goodness I can begin shamelessly copying photographers like Nate and Jaclyn, Max and Sean.  Warning, if you click on the these links you'll soon discover the total awesomeness to ultra talented photographers.  I'm pretty certain that these guys were born with cameras in their hands and never discard a single picture. Thankfully yesterday was beautiful.  The kids and I went to the park and we all played. [gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full"]
