		Built a little studio in my basement...got a pair of Alien Bee 400's, brolly boxes, stands, a few muslin backdrops, props galore...
 
 Figured it would pay for itself with two kids (age 2 years and 1 month) to take pictures of |

		70-200 f/4 L and a new Vaio laptop
 
 i was going to get the f/2.8 IS but decided that the cheaper lens and having a laptop would be better cause now i can edit shots in class :)  with a wireless mouse of course! |

		| Thought about taking a picture of me finishing up my taxes tonight.  Definitely an idea for the challenge this week – “something old” - at least paying taxes is getting very old to me.  “Something new” would actually be seeing a decent return this year. |

		| If I get any money back, hopefully it'll put me in the $550 area so I can get a new BMX bike. I can hope. |

		Flash, batteries, and memory cards?
 or
 70-200 f/2.8 VR
 or
 MacBook Pro?
 or
 New PC with Athlon X2 for crazy-fast raw processing
 
 All too tempting to decide right now |
