A Day at the Zoo

As part of our patriotic effort to stimulate the economy and after months of research and shopping around for the best price, we took the plunge and bought a digital SLR camera. It's been working out great and it's given both Yvonne and I a chance to brush up on our rusty photography skills (both of us did quite a lot of photography stuff in high school and college). One of the best advantages to an SLR is the ability to set your depth of field (aka: making the background blurry to help frame and focus on your subject).

These photos were from a day at the San Francisco Zoo for Rachel's 5th birthday.
