Day 95: "Don't get too excited when you see the box," Jean said to me as I began to unwrap the gift she had just handed me. As someone who saves small cardboard boxes for future packaging, I assumed she meant that she'd reused one, but when I saw "EF 25-105 mm," I had a flashback to another friend's birthday party and the brief expression of "Wow!" I'd seen in his eyes before he realized he'd been gulled by his wife. As I finished tearing off the paper, I burst out laughing. I knew that the box was indeed the original packaging, and that what it held was a thermal mug. I must know half a dozen photographers who have the same "lens." Jean, you didn't fool me for a second!
