28. Buy a DSLR camera and learn how to use it

This one is one of my favorite on the list. I have always loved having cameras, and my parents never failed to give in to my ever-growing camera wish list every Christmas. I had a really nice SLR for a while, then came the digital age and I had a GIANT digital camera with something like 2 or 3 pathetic megapixels. After that I continuously got better and better point and shoot cameras. I liked them for their portability and I felt like I took more photos with them because they were easy to carry with me.

Enter the cell phone camera era. I waited and waited to upgrade my iPhone until it had the much promised better camera, and then it came out. The iPhone 4s with an 8 megapixel camera, and I bought it immediately. I haven't used my point and shoot since.

So I think it is time to enter the world of the DSLR. I think with the new stage in Chris and I's life we will be wanting to take more nice pictures, so it will be nice to have one around.

But the most important part of this one . . . learn how to use it. I don't want to be using the manual settings and taking normal pictures, that is what my iPhone is for. No, I want to take some classes or read some books and actually learn how to use it. That way, I can have beautiful pictures to capture all of the memories.

Now I just need to save up for the big purchase . . .
