What my camera got for Christmas (part 1)
Posted by Alli on January 9, 2010
One of the highlights of my Christmas was the gift my guys gave me. Damon knew it was something I really, really, really, really wanted and it was probably going to be obvious when he gave it to me. So, he and Fuller worked together to make the actual giving of the gift just as special.
During a trip to Wal-Mart, I got a phone call from Damon asking if my parents had any black spray paint in the house. Turns out they didn’t, so I was tasked with buying some. Then when I returned to the house, I was banned from a certain part of the basement for a period of time. (Actually, I was banned twice, for two separate reasons!)
On Christmas morning 2, I was handed a box from my guys and inside I found this:
When I turned it over, I saw this:
And after I obeyed the instructions I saw this:
Actually, what you see there is only half of the gift (the card reader). The other half is currently in my camera! It is an Eye-fi card and allows me to simultaneously take pictures and wirelessly upload them to my computer and Flickr!
It took me a while to get all the settings just right. In fact, I opened the gift on December 26th and just yesterday figured out the power settings I had to change on my camera. Now it is working very well and it is really cutting down on some of my work.
Damon is known for usually having one big “handmade” gift to give someone at Christmas. And he is also known as someone who will make some effort to wrap gifts creatively. I’m honored to have been one of the recipients of the creative Christmas spirit from my husband!
Don’t I look happy (and messy)?

Lisa, this eye-fi card has really cut down on some of my procrastination for uploading pictures. Since it goes straight to my computer AND to flickr, I just have to spend time weeding out the “yucky” ones on flickr.
