This... Is... Fantastic! I am so very excited about my gifts, I can't thank my wonderfully generous SS enough....

In my Profile, I mentioned that I love science and astronomy. The first thing out the the box is "Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries" by Reddit's favorite science guy, Neil DeGrasse Tyson! I haven't read it yet, and can't wait! I know I'll enjoy every page.

Other things I mentioned: I love art; I studied photography in college. also, I enjoy making things, building things, putting stuff together. Lo, My Secret Santa put those two passions together and came up with the Lomography Konstruktor Do-It-Yourself 35mm Film SLR Camera Kit I giggled like a schoolboy when I opened the box. SO COOL!!! I've never seen one of these before. I actually have a small collection of interesting and vintage cameras, and this one will be a great and unique addition. I'm really looking forward to putting it together. I will definitely post pictures of the assembly process, as well as some samples of the photos from it, because Santa even included a roll of film for the camera! So thoughtful!

I couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful gift from a perfect stranger. Thank you, Secret Santa! You are awesome!
