Chalk it up to self-consciousness, or just merely being pretty un-photogenic, but I've never been a big fan of either taking photos or being in them... until recently.  Even when digital cameras first came out and I picked up a (now archaic) Casio camera, I never took a lot of pictures.

Whatever the reason, I love taking and being in photos now and I'm really enjoying capturing the memories of this great time in my life.  The problem is that I'm way too cheap/lazy/etc. to use a photo printing service... and let's face it, I'm definitely a "digital" guy.  No need to mess around with silly prints.  That's why this digital photo frame is such a great solution.  I've always wanted one but other gadgets took priority, and myself and my better half were fortunate enough to receive one as a joint birthday gift.  Let's see what it has in store for us...

Unboxing the DPF-D70

I love Sony boxes, always so nice.

The photo frame is well packed inside its flashy, Sony branded home, and is easy to remove.  However, putting the

box back together was a nightmare and ended up in some cardboard-tearing frustration... not a big deal, but if you're a box-saver like me, take your time instead of letting the rage overtake you ;)

Getting excited now...

Included in the box are the warranty card, instruction sheet, and other papers (honestly, I didn't look at them at all) as well as the unit itself, a cute little remote, and a power cube.

This gadget is quite glossy... and difficult to photograph.

My first thought upon removing the frame's sticky cellophane covering was "Oooo! Shiny!"  Because it is, well... shiny.  The front of the frame is (presumably) a solid piece of glass, with the 7" LCD screen in the middle, surrounded by a glossy black frame.  It's really sharp, in typical Sony fashion.

Let's set it up!
