I really didn't know where else to put this.
I just got my new 50D last night, and wanted to play.
One of my co-workers had never been to Napa, and wanted to go wine tasting. So I decided to combine playing with my camera, and playing tour guide.

If you have ever been to Prager Family Winery and Port Works (external link), they are kind to their arachnids.:p

This is the only window out of the tasting room.

Shot with ambient light only.

Customers from all over the world have written on dollar bills and either taped or stapled them to the walls and ceiling as well. It's covered.

Here's the back wall. There's actually a door there (somewhere).

Some people hunt with a gun. I use a Canon.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

Or perhaps I could trade up the 50D for a 5DMkII? :D

OK, a few of us will come down there and distract them by drinking lots and lots of wine. You can collect all cash and see if you can get a 5D2. If you do though, you'll have to let us hug it and hold it. I'd say use it, but its a 5D2, isn't it more an object of worship?

Exactly what I was thinking. LOL!

And we will give it security. And we will keep it warm like a mother hen, so it will never feel rejected or lack for love.


Of course, given the current, uh, availability of the 5D2....

And we searched and we searched... gosh it's hot... but we never caught up with our little 5DmkII.
