My Epic arrived today (3/26). Time to give the baby a name.

As far as a name for your camera, I chose a name based on my serial number. In 1474, Isabella declared herself queen of Castile. Hence, my camera, SN# 1474, is Isabella. What's your serial number?

Mine is 2114. The "211" part is like fantasy-level synchronicity for me. Not sure what to make of the extra 4. But I'm not lacking for ideas on the names, I'm just trying to decide whether one of them is too obvious. I'm pretty sure it will be either "Gabriel" or "Hans Solo".

The story on the last one is kinda funny. I have never watched any of the Star Wars movies, know nothing of their plots, and only know a few of the famous character names from inevitable pop culture exposure. But when my nephews were little, I recall one of them wanting a "Hans Solo" action figure for Christmas.

Fast forward to last fall, when I had a very significant dream in my spiritual journey (which is the subject of the documentary film I'm going to shoot with this camera), and a very prominent symbol in the dream was a two year-old child named "Hans Solo". It was only later, when I googled the name as I was working out interpretations for the dream, that I realized the character name is actually "Han Solo". Since I'm pretty much a solo production team (money to hire is a real issue at this point, but I'm also a reforming control freak who still has difficulty delegating), I'm thinking the "Solo" in "Hans Solo" is very descriptive. So I'm leaning that way.

Even more funny, when you think about that his name is "Han Solo" hehehe
Hans is probably his evil german counterpart

I'm teasing. But it's still true

Was waiting on some accessories to role in and for the one-million things pulling at me for attention these last few days to settle enough to let me give my proper attention to my new baby. I powered it up for the first time today. I'm so in love it's pathetic!!!!!
