It was very fun, but exhausting; a 2 year old is one busy human. 

&lt;p&gt;I also got the chance to dust off my camera a take a few &lt;a href="http://spaces.msn.com/mgroves/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c11_PhotoAlbum_spaHandler=TWljcm9zb2Z0LlNwYWNlcy5XZWIuUGFydHMuUGhvdG9BbGJ1bS5GdWxsTW9kZUNvbnRyb2xsZXI$&amp;amp;_c11_PhotoAlbum_spaFolderID=cns!43AFE059FDA652E!1194&amp;amp;_c=PhotoAlbum&amp;amp;_c02_owner=1"&gt;decent shots at the Seattle Zoo&lt;/a&gt;.  I think I still have a ton of practice ahead of me, but I am starting to see some improvement in my photographs.

I am looking to get back into taking more pictures again.  I think I mostly got out of photography since it became such a pain dealing with film.  I felt that I was too afraid to experiment, maybe just too cheap.  
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;So far I really like the camera; I definitely feel that I can learn a good bit about photography with this camera, and since I got a 2 GB compact flash card, no reason to be afraid of taking tons of pictures.
&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;
First B&amp;amp;W photo from the new camera:
