Responsible Parenting

Well, what would you do? Imagine the scene: you are at the beach with your toddler, and he starts playing with the waves. You have borrowed a rather fine Nikon D70 camera for the day. It becomes clear that toddler is shortly going to fall over in waves, and get wet.
Would you a) Swiftly put the camera away, and go and rescue the poor little darling before he gets his ickle feet all wet. Or…
b) Ensure that the camera is primed and ready to record a sequence of shots of his unfortunate salty mishap.
Well, me too. Sadly, Tosha was not too impressed with my parenting skills on that day, and, to prevent such incidents from happening again, has forbidden me from buying a camera of my own. Now, needless to say, I think this is is a mistake - just imagine the exciting actrion images that we could miss out on as a result.
If you'd like to see more pictures of Digi doing things which are funny / dangerous / stupid, please sign the petition below.

We, the undersigned commenters, hereby declare that it is imperative that Nik buys a decent camera, so as to take some amusing pictures of Digi larking about (but obviously, without being in any real danger, like being eaten by electric squirrels or something).
