I got a new camera a couple of weeks ago. It’s a fancy digital SLR and takes great photos. I’ve been playing with it a little bit but just yesterday took it out to the park to really play around with all the features and try to learn how to work it and do cool things.

First, let me say that I love her. She is awesome. I’ve been trying to think up a good name for her and I wanted it to be fancy, cuz she is. So I think I’ve decided to make her royalty. I think I’m going to call her Princess Alexandra of Canon and call her Lexi for short.

So, Princess Alexandra of Canon and I met Zak to get our international drivers licenses. We needed them to be allowed to rent our car in Europe. We were thinking it was going to be a laminated drivers license-type thing but it’s a little booklet with our information hand-written into it. Zak is looking confused because we’re pretty sure we could have made these ourselves.

Some of you may notice that there is a picture of Zak on my license/booklet, but rest assured that I have my own photo, we just used his for the pictures.

After that, Zak went to work and the Princess and I headed to Central Park to see what we could see.

Half of New York was in the park because it was absolutely beautiful outside.

I was trying to learn how to make one object in focus while blurring the background.

It took me a few tries, but I think I finally got it.

The Princess and I had a great time getting to know one another. Stay tuned for more of her work.
