Thank You Mr. Canon - I'll Treasure It

For me? This whole box is for me? Oh, thank you. Can I open it?


Umm. Well this is certainly wonderful. I shall make sure I read the information on the Canon cameras. I look forward to the EOS 6D when it appears. I do hope we get to see it before Christmas - I think a lot of people might like to have one.

And the tabletop presentation board for the other new camera - wow, that seems interesting. And the little wooden block puzzle that folds in on itself infinitely. Sometimes I feel just like that myself.

And the EOS Photo 5 competition box - spaghetti, fishing line, HO scale people and red tissue paper. I can see art in the making. Move over Dali. Howza Picasso. Yo, Hanna Hoch. I wonder if there is any space left at the MoMA for me...

And what does this bit say...its a new word..."Playfessional... a person who lives in the moment. A spontaneous soul who wants the best of both worlds.".

Gosh, not what I initially thought at all. I imagined that it might mean people who play at being professionals. Like a hobby dentist with a little surgery in the garage. Or a studio photographer with a box of business cards and a 350D. Or Fred Demara. I'll certainly have to revise my vocabulary - I think being a playfessional might be a lot of fun.

I wonder if there is somewhere that sells DIY books for jet aircraft engine maintenance? I like airports.
