A couple of years ago for my birthday my darling husband bought me a new digital camera. It was a nice little toy. Took great pictures, had image stabilization, a burst option and kept me happy. I was very sad when it met its demise this week. It was in my purse, as I take it nearly everywhere, and my purse fell off of the trunk of the car and out came the camera, tumbling across the street, never to power up again. It was my careless fault and I am so sad about it. I seem to not be able to hang on to the point and shoot type of cameras very well.
My 35mm Minolta on the other hand has lasted a long time and is in great condition. I use that camera for photo shoots and other times I want to take the time to really set up a shot. So, what to do now? Get another little fairly cheap point and shoot, take with me every where camera, or the camera of my dreams? A DSLR that cost more than I make in 2 months time? Nice and professional grade, I will use and use it. I can't afford it though. I guess after we finish the septic, we will see if anything is left over. In the meantime, don't look for any new pics. I will have to recycle and re purpose the old ones.

Lish,
I would love to get some pictures from Apple blossom. My mom didn't get a single shot of any of the kids! Do you mind if I link you on my blog? I hope all is well and good luck w/ the camera thing. We just got a new one on Memorial Day and I love it! We got a Sony Cyber-shot DCS-H50. We opted for the good ol’ digital instead of the DSLR. It is lightweight and the quality is actually very nice. I love that it has video capability, which was actually the deciding factor for us. Most of the DSLR cameras we were looking at were not only more expensive but they didn’t do videos. Karl was a little bummed because he really wanted a nice lens option camera and then we realized this one does have lens options. Not the same grade of course but it has the option and that is a win, win in our book. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon. -Niki
oh and I love the hair cuts!
