Ode To The Cam

There’s a new digital cam in town, well, there will be in two months anyway. I found a Polaroid at Wally World that will go in the layaway on the 3rd when I get my pennies from the government. I feel so stifled without a camera. It was my therapy, an art tool, fun and games. I was attached to that thing and truthfully it did quite well for quite some time. Like all good cams, it had to go into digital arrest. I tried artificial resuscitation (I changed the batteries to brand new rechargeable ones) but despite all my efforts it couldn’t be revived. That was several months ago. I’ve tried to move on but it’s slow, a process I guess. In order to move on I’ve decided to put a new cam in the layaway. I’ll put down half this month and get it out next month. I look forward to it. Video with voice in either MPEG-4 or AVI, nice mega pixels at 5.1, and it shoots in colour, as well as negative, black & white, sepia, mosaic, blue, green and red. Now, there are better cams out there with functions that others desire over the different types of images you can shoot but this one seems to fit me well. I can’t say I’m disappointed about having the shutter open as little as 1/2000 second and as long as 8 full seconds. I’m sooooo going to love this especially at $99.87.

I have an anniversary coming up. My Independence Day is February 2nd so I don’t feel so badly about putting half down. I can call it an Indy Day present to myself. So no longer will I visit blogs such as Velvet Sacks and Life at Stars Rest and see photos and weep. No more…well, I mean more for two months but after that I shall again post photos. I’ve missed so much record keeping of Bella growing up. I feel almost lost without a cam. Like I said, it was therapy, it was for art work and for fun. I miss it. It’s been too long. Two months isn’t that much longer to wait, not when I know what it is I’m waiting for. Yippee for me!

    YEAH for you!

    I hope you enjoy your camera.

    Makes me think about digging mine out and heading to the park to get some shots of all the snow we have right now.

    Way to go, Austin! That camera sounds like a good investment — a whole lot of camera for the money. I’m looking forward to seeing new photos of your furbabies and anything else you might like to show us. An anniversary of a special day is always a good time to treat yourself.
