finally!

january 1, 2009. mark this day in your calendar, people. for this is not only the first day of the new year, but also the day that jeremy finally ordered up that D700 that he's been talking about, pretty much constantly, since it was announced six months ago. but this day, jeremy isn't the only happy one, as you can see from the photo..

why is kristin happy? well, because she now gets a substantial camera upgrade, replacing her aging once-owned-by-jeremy D70 with the substantially more awesome up-until-five-minutes-ago-owned-by-jeremy D200. and just as he replaced his D70 with the D200 a few years ago, now kristin gets to do the same. the cycle is complete, the prophecy fulfilled.

so, jeremy is happy, and kristin is also happy. but you may have noticed that they aren't the only smiling faces in this photo, no sir! robyn and craig (and i) are also happy. if you're thinking "why, ben? why are they also happy?" i'll tell you! we're especially happy because we don't have to listen to jeremy talk about how he really, really needs to buy the D700 anymore. double-yay!

but seriously, we're all happy for both kristin and jeremy. this is like, on the office, when jim and pam finally get together after awkwardly dancing around each other for three seasons.. except without dwight, and with cameras (yes, i know that the office is filmed with cameras. stop being pedantic. that's not what i meant, and you know it)

i just wish that i had brought my D300 to take this momentous photo, although the canon sd880 performed wonderfully, so i can't really complain
