I've been interested in photography since I was very young, watching my uncle take gorgeous pictures. I've been trying to learn and improve ever since. I always wanted a manual SLR and I'm super Canon loyal, so the fact that my Secret Santa sent me a classic canon SLR is WONDERFUL. It especially fit in with the theme of gifts I got this year, as I just received my first DSLR, and plan on really amping up my photography efforts.

I'm incredibly excited to have this as a tool in my arsenal and go shoot some amazing SLR and DSLR art!

Thank you SO much!!! Your letter was so detailed and thoughtful, and so was the gift!!

I hope you like the "family" shot too. :P
