Dear Santa: I've been good girl. Not superdooper good, but not horrible. I haven't always eaten my vegetables, but I clean my room fairly often.
1. It's already 2005, I thought in the future (the future beginning at 2000, at least when I was growing up that is what we thought as the future) aliens from outer space would land. Please have land before I die. I've been waiting. Or, at the least, XT radio contact. 2. An Epson 4800 (okay, 2200, see even in an Xmas list I can be realistic). 3. A Canon 70-300mm IS USM (the new zoom, not the DO one, 4-5.6). 4. A Canon 17-40mm. 5. More time to take pictures. 6. More inspiration when I do. 7. Lots of restraint on Doug's part -- not bumping me immediately off list when my email box is full. Thanks Santa. I've already received gift #7. Marnie aka Doe ;-) ======= Dear Santa: I have been a very good boy this year. I always ate my vegetables, and I even cleaned my room. Please leave me one or more of the following this year: 1. *istDS2. No need for the kit lens, just the body please. 2. 2GB SD cards. Two of them, please. 3. FA31/1.8 Limited. I've been VERY good. 4. Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod. Or a gym membership so I can carry my Tiltall. 5. Zenitar 16mm fisheye lens. 6. Peace on earth, and good will to men. Sincerely, Mat Maessen
