Today is Milo’s birthday!  She turned 4.  I’m kind of a crazy cat lady.  I sang happy birthday to her today.  I think she liked it.  She didn’t try to squirm out of my arms while I was singing.

I’ll be waking up at 3AM tomorrow morning to go to Willow Springs Raceway. I should probably be in bed right now but there is still so much to do. Travis has to put his car on the dyno and we have to go shopping and pick up water and snacks to eat while we’re at the track all day. I’ll be using my new lens to take pictures of cars on the track. Wish me luck and hope that I don’t suck too bad! I’ll be selling these!

If you’re a photographer and you’re reading this, then you know what the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens is.  Well, I bought one.  HOLY CRAP!  I can’t believe that I actually have one now.  It got delivered today and I had to run out and take some test shots.  These are SO not exciting but I had to practice my panning.  I went to the park by my house and took a few sniper photos.  I want to sleep with the lens next to me in my bed, that’s how much I love it!

And then this lady…  I took a picture of her, and then all of a sudden she was in front of me!  Apparently, she turned her car around and asked me what I was taking pictures of!  I told her I just got a new lens and I was practicing taking pictures of moving objects.  She was like, “OH!  I thought you were taking radar pictures or something!”

See, this lens commands respect! ha ha ha.  WHITE LENS TILL I DIE!
