I heard about the LiHD Family Program from Tonya Wirgau, one of our Library patrons and LiHD Family #19. That night after work, I went home and read about the program. The whole concept of studying families Living in High Definition and helping to shape future products appealed to us right from the start. I entered knowing we had no chance of winning. After all, what were the odds of two families living within miles of each other being chosen for the same program? Glad they proved me wrong!

Without a doubt our most favorite picture would have to be “Bob’s First Picture”. It was the first picture taken with our Lumix FX-37 point-and-shoot camera. The interesting colors from an early morning sun make it look more like a painting than a photo. Our canal never looked so good.

Numb, excited and oh so very happy. This was the opportunity of a lifetime. We can’t help but smile when we think back to the day that we were selected as LiHD Family #42.

The site affords us the opportunity to interact with people throughout the country who share our interest in photography and technology. We have learned so much in the past year and a half. The webinars and forums are insightful. Greg’s Answerman videos have taught us so much about high definition. Interacting with the other LiHD Families is informative and downright fun. We have met so many unique individuals. Joining this program has been a win, win situation. We are very grateful to Panasonic for supplying this wonderful playground in which to share, learn and experiment with all this wonderful equipment.
