The Canon 5D was officially announced today. And it’s a beauty – 12.8 megapixel, full-frame goodness at a cost of $3,299. Now that’s not quite in the prosumer price range, but it’s a heck of a lot closer than the 1D ($7k+). Anyway, this one has a 2.5″ monitor, and captures bursts at 3 frames per second. Not gonna work for you sports shooters out there, but perfectly peachy for capturing pics of Sam at home and in the wild! Of course, maybe I’m more addicted than I realize to the 1.6x effect on my 80-200 – it does let me reach out and touch the animals at the zoo…
The extended Handelman family visited Cooperstown, NY in June, 2005 for a little get together. Attending were (obviously) the Handelmans as well as the Hogans, Sagans and Trotz family. Pics include time at the lake, a colonial-era farm, the National Baseball Hall of Fame (go Sox!), and a few pics of the family en masse. Enjoy!

I’m trying to catch up on all the photos I’ve taken but not posted for the last month or so. Here now are pictures showing Sam with a really cool ‘do, as well as a few where he demonstrates his amazing ability to hold himself up during ‘Tummy Time.’ As you can see, he’s developing into quite the cute little guy!
So thanks to a hat tip from my buddy Andy Mitchell, I just bought Bob Mould’s new album off iTunes. Wow. The new disc harkens back before Modulate – all at once, I’m hearing the influence of Workbook, Sugar and Copper Blue, all rolled into one nice package. It’s got an edge, but perspective at the same time. Good stuff. I shot the photo above for Bob several years back on the Modulate tour, and hope to see him again when he comes through Atlanta.
