I want a 5D Mark II this Christmas, but it’s going to be pretty damn hard to only get one between the two of us.
Marco: Please send me your Christmas wish list. This makes it super easy for me to buy things for Marc :-)

NYC and plastic bags →
kjohnson:
I’m really making an effort to bring re-useable bags with me, but I still feel like I’m constantly refusing plastic bags.
