      If I had a crop camera than I would definitely stick with 17-55 2.8 IS - it's my to-go-to lens, extremely sharp and versatile. For full frame it would have to be 50 1.2L.

      Borszh (is that how you spell it?? not sure..:))..It's a Russian/Ukranian traditional soup, that's where you put potatoes, carrots, cabbage, beets together, cook it and then put a table spoon of sour cream on top...yummy yummy!

      Flats. I'm 5.9 so I don't "need" heels really. But the main thing is I'm not comfortable on them - I honestly tried wearing heels - can't do it. Heels almost ruined my wedding day...lol :) It was like the first time I wore heels and by the end of the day my feet were falling off, thank goodness my hubby was there to support me (and by that I mean supporting my body weight as I was leaning against him)..:) I do wear heels once in a while but not for long periods of time.

      I've always LOVED taking photos, we had a darl room at our house and my dad would even sometimes let me help him develop film..:) I kept borrowing cameras from my parents because I couldn't afford to buy one (all of them were Canons btw :)). Then I got a Canon S5IS in 2007 for our trip to BC, and absolutely loved that little guy! but thought that something was missing - I wanted complete control over my camera. I shot with it here and there, even did my first paid family session with my trusty P&S...And then next year my coworker asked me to shoot her wedding (isn't that how everyone starts out?:). I was really debating it as I had no experience in shooting weddings, but she promised to buy me extra batteries for the flash and the camera and I said yes.:) By that time I had purchased a Canon 40D which I still dearly love even though it's my backup camera now. From then on I started getting requests from people from work, booking family sessions. Last year I upgraded my camera to 7D, bought 2 wondeful lenses - 70-200 2.8 IS and 17-55 2.8 IS and strive to get better and better every day. I love creating small photo projects for myself or even join a agroup of people that work on the same project...fun times!:) Oh and I talk tooooo much!:))))

      I shoot with a Canon 7D and 40D, I love them both. 7D is very responsive, it's autofocus is amazing and the ISO performance is really what sold this camera to me. Last wedding I second shot I was shooting at ISO4000-6400 and still got very decent shots of the ceremony. Ah-mazing!!:)It's a crop sensor camera but my lenses perfectly match it - I love my combo of Canon 17-55 2.8 IS and 70-200 USM 2.8 IS! The controls are also very customizable which is great. I'm yet to discover the video capabilities to their fullest but what I was able to shoot so far of my family is great, the camera may have trouble autofocusing for a video in low light though, just so you know.
