    Holga Birthday Cake...

    I recently had a birthday, I turned the BIG 4 OH, and because my photographic experience began on a birthday several years ago I wanted to have a photography themed party.
    I asked my guests to bring one of their favorite photographs, it could be one of theirs, one of them, an iconic one, whatever, and then share why that photograph was "their favorite photograph".
    I didn't get to hear all of the stories but I heard quiet a few of them.
    I also had a cake made for the occasion which is what this post is really about, so with out further ado I present to you...

    Congrats on the birthday youngster! Nice cake too. You didn't possibly get any books on composition that may have a chapter on how to pick out backgrounds for pictures? Ha Ha, Jeff

    Now that's a cake worthy of a 40th birthday! Happy Happy Brian.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Holga Birthday Cake...

    I think the light is too harsh right in the center of the cake and the background could be... KIDDING!

    HAPPY BDAY!

    Great Lens

    I couldn't help but joke about how the cake probably had a better lens than Brian's cameras

    My favorite photo is the one of the lens all hacked up. Quick - anyone got some black tape??!!

    I think in the case of this particular cake, I mean camera, frosting would work just as well as duct tape.
    Thanks John!

    Pictures, please! :-)

    Start a new thread on the Canon forum, if you got photos. Maybe we'll start a whole new cake camera trend...

    Brian-
    I just uploaded a large version of the one of you eating to the gallery so you can print it if you want. It's at least big enough for an 8x10.
