For my daughter's 16th birthday she wanted a Canon digital SLR. I was more than happy to oblige. Now she plans to join P.O.T.N. and start working on her skills. She is a natural artist. I can't wait to see what she can do with this.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Nice daddy, wanna adopt me?? LOL Cannot wait to see some of her photos! My parents bought me my first (film of course) SLR when I was 16. I've been hooked ever since. That's one of my fondest memories. I wanted to do the same for her. I predict she will surpass me in skills sometime mid-next week. Please disregard all opinions in this post
