I get to cross another item off the Baby Bucket List…as I am now the proud owner of a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. And its RED.
The circumstances of buying it were slightly dubious- and by dubious I mean mad at my husband, so I bought a camera just to prove how mad I was.
{I know Mom, I should have just cut the crotch out of his favorite pants and been done with, I know!!}
And then just to top it off- he wasn’t mad. What is the point of buying something ridiculous out of spite if he doesn’t care?!
But I have an awesome camera. Not too grown-up (ie, not too many features for me to use) but complicated enough that it makes an awesome click when I take the picture, it makes me feel like I know something about photography. Hah! So I’ve been scouring Pioneer Woman’s photography section, getting ideas on how to play with the manual features, and really thinking that I might want to try Photoshop Elements.
Stay tuned for a deluge of candids, like this gem-
You’ve been warned!

I’m a new reader to your blog and love it. You’ve inspired me to create my own “baby bucket list.” Your camera is sooo pretty! That’s one of my goals, too–partially because I’m looking into being a photographer and partially because I want a nice camera to take photos of said baby when it comes. Congrats on crossing that one off!

It was actually far cheaper than the list price…I got mine for $365. Warehousedeals.com is an Amazon subsidiary (so you get Amazon’s customer service, return policies, etc.) and a good deal! I think this one was an open box, but even then everything in it was still in the plastic wrap and absolutely pristine. Definitely took some of the financial sting out of the purchase!

My friend, Tab mentioned your blog to me. I am in the market for a new camera and have been looking at the Nikon digital SLR’s. I currently have a cheaper Lumix Panasonic and I really like it so maybe I should consider an upgraded model. Something to think about.

Oh, how I have missed you, and here I come and see a picture of my favorite beverage.
Congrats on knocking something else off your list!

I just found your blog through spearmint baby and it’s such a great idea! I have a 6 week old and there is so much that I want to accomplish that is constantly running through my head. I’ll have to make my own list someday!

Yeah for a Baby Bucketlist item! Who cares if it was accomplished as an act of unsuccessful retaliation! Woohoo!
