I saw the information on the Panasonic site when I was registering a TV we'd just purchased (Dec 2007). I went ahead and sent in the information without saying anything to Jen or Bayley, thinking I wouldn't hear any more about it.

We were stunned (in a good way!). As mentioned, they didn't know anything about it, and when the letter showed up from FedEx we were all shocked, at which point I had to explain things. Funny thing is, we were 5 minutes away from leaving for a long weekend at the beach when the FedEx driver showed up. We were all very glad we hadn't left yet, otherwise we never would have gotten the response letter in the mail in time!

That's easy: Enjoying the Race. It's a reminder of an awesome weekend Bayley and I had together. I love open wheel racing, and to be able to fly across the country with my daughter and share that weekend with her was incredible.

Don't let your camera get in the way of fun. While capturing memories is important, I talk to far too many people that take all kinds of equipment on vacation and spend too much time ensuring they have the perfect shot whenever they are shooting. To me, pictures of the good times (vacations, family, etc.) are best when they're candid, even though candid does not always result in pictures you would publish.

We enjoy seeing other people's pictures and reading through forum posts to get different perspectives on photography techniques and equipment. It's been great to have a community tied to the LiHD program where we can all share our experience with each other.
