FIRST THINGS FIRST

I don't know how many of you have read my story of what happened to my camcorder, so click the provided link and scroll down until you find my explanation.  Otherwise, here's the pics of my last camcorder.

Click the Thumbnails for a Full Resolution Copy.

I initially wasn't even going to show up today as TODAY is actually my wife's due date to have our third child.  I woke up and my wife was still not making any progress from what she made a week ago.  I looked her in the eyes this morning and asked, "Are you sure I can go to the shoot?  I'm not bringing my guns so I can leave at a moments notice!  Are you sure!"   She gave me a positive yes several times over and off I went.

I'm sure some of the guys were surprised to see me show up but I guess the surprise was more on me.  About 30-minutes into shooting Steve (darth_pavoris) had called a sudden and unexpected COLD RANGE and yelled, "Tom Fernandez front and center!!!"  He then gave this William Wallace Mel Gibson Braveheart Speech and they had presented me with a new Digital Camcorder.

There's not much I can say guys for yall doing this and it was completely unnecessary.  You've all become the greatest group of friends that I have in my life currently and look forward to another awesome year of shooting and doing what the hell ever we come up with.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DID THIS!!!

Now onto some more pics!
