I am retiring my digital camera.The camera I have been using for ages, since about 2005 I think, only opens half the time, so I find myself finding excuses not to take photos and that's not fair. (I mean, I need them for my memory, not because I want to share them or anything. I blog so that I have a search field in my memory. It's a beautiful thing.)
The camera has actually served very well in it's day and has been through alot, including a time when I threw it at Rusty's head in New Orleans at the W Hotel because I was upset at him. I am giving it a gracious and thankful ceremony of service. It's not out of service, but I get so frustrated and find every excuse not to use it when it only works half the time. (Wait, that sounds like me. Uh-oh.)
Today, my friend who gave me a generous gift card to use at 'Best Buy' (Thank you very much!) can see it go to good use for a long time ahead now. *wink*This evening, Rusty and I went and I purchased a Cannon camera that does not have a touch screen and works just as well and is a GREAT size to always have with me. YEA!
It's a pretty blue color too. Fierce.
I did get the "accidental" warranty they offered as hard as I am on camera equipment, so that it's covered when, not if, when something crazy happens and I have another outrageous story to tell you of how it broke and is soaked in a liquor.
I really miss one of the first purchases I made with my hard earned (I mean that. I earned the money while I was hard.) money from my first porn shoot. The camera to the right, was one my best electronic purchases. I miss that durable camera. now that camera should have been made by Tonka. (I still have it, but something is broken on the screen.) It looks like it was $251.99 new which sounds about right.The mega-pixels are not as high as Lisa's new 14 mega-pixel camera or something like that, but seriously, most if not all of what I shoot as content is for the web and a very candid placement so I am way ahead of my game at this point. It's hard enough for me to get them online within the same decade right? ARGH!
If you don't get the picture, that's okay, you will shortly. *wink*
