Knowing how badly I wanted to switch over to canon and get some REALLY good lenses, my parents went way beyond anything I could ever expect and are getting me a Canon 40D, Canon EF 50mm 1.2L and a Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8L and my grandpa threw in a polarizer filter for my birthday which is on June 2nd! I am so shocked and SO grateful and have been dancing constantly with joy. My camera arrives tomorrow and the lenses get here Friday!! They got it all for me early because I am shooting a wedding on May 10...
Just thought I would share my joy!!
:-D

Congrats! And Happy Birthday!
I'm thinking that there may have been some appreciation for the level of work you've done that they went to such great lengths to enable your work.
I know I've seen much work from you I'd classify as stunning.
Maybe it's a two way thing, eh?.......8>)

Haha :-D My parents have always been really supportive of whatever art mania I am a part of, I have gone through everything from beading to weaving...they got me a loom so I could weave my own cloth...I am weird...but yeah so they really love seeing all the work I do and now that I have a pretty successful headshot business up and running they wanted to get me something that would pay for itself over time, which this new equipment will definitely do.

| Do yourself a favor and make sure it is insured. Congrats BTW. |

| how can you insure your stuff? |
|
|
|
04/29/2008 04:19:45 PM · #20 |
| We were looking into that and I don't know if my family can afford insuring my equipment...which is uncool because I have a set of 2 alien bees lights that really should be insured too...they have insurance things for dorms and renters and whatnot, but I am not sure what equipment would fall into |

oh you can give me all your equipment. I can take good care of it. :P

I have my gear insured on contents insurance under personal items. I set the amount at £2K...you can set it at any level you want, just means you pay extra for that cover.
PS: Make sure you have serial numbers and photos of the equipment for claims purposes.

Yeah I have all my serial numbers and photos and stuff. I talked to my dad about insuring my stuff again today and I think we might go ahead with it. |
