We are looking forward to spending the holidays hunkering down, staying warm, and enjoying old fashioned comforts like the smell of white spruce, sledding down bumpy hills, Sam singing jazzy Christmas tunes with the kids on his guitar, sharing meals with family and friends, and being thankful for the hundreds of ways we are blessed.
Christmas means something different to everyone, but for us, we are truly overjoyed to celebrate and welcome life, peace, joy and most of all a little baby in a manger.
This pic is what Christmas looks like at our house - don't ask me about the aprons! :)
Have a wonderful and very merry Christmas!
Lotsa' love,
Mary (& Sam)
Here's the run-down:
Canon 16-35mm F2.8 L II
Canon 85mm F1.8
Canon 10-22mm F2.5-4.5
Canon 24-70mm F2.8 L
Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS
Sigma 18-50mm F2.8
We also have a 50mm F1.8 (not pictured above) which is a super fun, super light lens - probably one of Mary's faves! As for our actual lens bags, I use the awesome Boda Bag created by Jim Garner and Mary LOVES her Jessica Claire Shoot Sac. Both bags allow us to travel light and comfortably. They carry and protect our gear without getting in the way, allowing us to do what we do with our cameras!
So there you have it - our well-loved collection of glass. If you have a fave lens, let us know in the comments below!
That's a great line up . are you guys using crop camera ?( such as 1.6 )
(05.01.09 @ 08:58 AM)This year, spring came sooner than we all expected. We are soaking in a good dose of the sunshine with the days getting longer and life beginning to sprout up all around. We've planted a couple of herbs and some paperwhites. The fact that they are still green makes me happy as I recall my childhood memories of watering my mom's plants and never knowing how much water is enough (yes, they were either dying of thirst or had too much!)
These made me smile today:
We want to wish all new things to begin in your lives this season.
Happy first day of spring!

I wish the same for both of you ! It's great to see the other people respecting spring like us ( Iranian people ) You may know it , That the first day of spring is our new year celebration time .
With the best wishes
J: No, i didn't know that spring is your new year celebration time! Thanks for sharing, I think it makes a lot of sense and wish we celebrate the new year at spring time too. Many happy blessings this new year!

- an Altoids box (curiously strong?)
- and a soldering iron. (Mary got me this one for Christmas to satisfy my inner-geek)
Here's the schematic just in case you have a hankerin' to sling some melted lead!

wow. you are just too much. can u teach canon how to fix the autofocus issues on my 1D3?
(03.27.09 @ 06:08 PM)Thanks Wei. Sorry to hear about the 1D3 recalls. I'm sure they'll get it right someday ;)
(03.29.09 @ 12:10 AM)Working from home has it's advantages, but sometimes it's good to step outside of the home office and soak in a new environment. For us, that means packing up (no, we don't travel light anymore!) and head to the local coffee shop. It's a good chance to meet new friends, listen to good music, and have a hot drink --all the while working on stuff that we've been putting off. It's amazing all the small tasks that can be completed in a couple of hours. Of course, it makes them all the more fun and enjoyable.
This is us at Starbucks:
(Here I am fiercely concentrating... not sure where I inherited my furrowed brow! :)
Happy Tuesday!
