a really neat book called 500 Cameras, it chronicles the advent of the camera and as promised, has 500 cameras. Nice descriptions and pictures for each.

Yea as mentioned above I just got a ton of clothes. I purchased a whole new camera setup in November and that was pretty much everything I'll need for the next 10 months until my SD cards start crashing. Camera stuff from family is always tough seeing as it's so expensive and really takes a chunk out of other things you might need more.

So stoked I got a Glidecam and a nikon to canon adapter! Also got a hot shoe extender thing witch ads 3 hot shoe mounts to the top of my camera so that I don't need to mount my zoom to my microphone using a gorilla pod..
And I got a couple of itunes gift cards from my sister and friends so I can get a couple of ski movies. Already downloaded Sunny, The Eighty Six and Act Natural and I will probably get 3 or 4 more today.
