    A few years ago, I was fortunate to have the Vietnam traveling wall setup one town away. Very humbling experience.

    Simple, yet powerful and emotional.

    Suggestions please? Kid is in yearbook club and is very interested in photography. The school ones they use are Cannon EOS 100. I'm looking for something similar, like a basic kit. If she takes off with hobby, something we can add onto in coming years. Thank you

    PS, Birthday is in July, so if there is a certain time of year they go on sale between now and then I'll wait.
