An anonymous MetaFilter member sent me an early holiday gift from my wishlist that I have been wanting for quite a while now: a digital SLR camera. I was shocked and surprised that someone would send something so expensive and I'm ecstatic that I've got an amazing 6 megapixel camera now. I don't know who or how to thank them but I am forever grateful for this gift.
Expect photo quality to improve greatly from here on out.
