So does anyone else find their appetite for all things photography a bit like the children's book "If you give a mouse a cookie"?

My daughter has this book and I couldn't help but realize that I have a lot in common with that little guy.

If you give me an Xti kit, I am going to need a telephoto lens.
Once I have that telephoto lens, I'm going to stumble upon the strobist blog, then I will have to have a 285hv.
Once I have discovered off-camera lighting, I will want to try portraiture, so I am going to have to pick up a Nifty-Fifty.
That new lens is great but I could do so much more with another light...etc. etc. ...

Every time I buy something new, I just move on to the next thing that could open a new avenue of photography that I just have to explore.

Oh well, I'm gonna go look for some Oreos.

These are awesome!!

Also, I love Laura Numeroff! I have a few of her books, and I don't even have any kids. ;)
