I hope everyone who celebrates it had a wonderful Thanksgiving. For you Canadians, you always were ahead of us in certain things. And the rest of you, I hope you had a great day anyway! My birthday was Friday, so we celebrated it on Thursday night with our Thanksgiving guests. My birthday present was an Olympus OM-D. For several years a Panasonic G1 has been my "other" camera after my M8. The OM-D seemed to check all the boxes I wanted, and the drastically improved sensor made it a worthwhile upgrade. So I am now learning the OM-D's somewhat daunting, program-your-own user interface. First results, with the little Panny 20/1.7 (40mm equivalent), have been very promising. My very first shot, a self-portrait in my bathroom mirror, turned out quite nicely, especially when converted to B&W. <http://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/8198764512/in/photostream> The world's funniest Border Terrier doing her thing: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/8213422576/in/photostream/> Our friend Laurie carves her pumpkin pie.
