This was SAT weekend and for it, (as you might just be able to make out) I started “Harvest Witch,” which incidentally will also be my Sunday SAL with Dawn.
I am sorry the progress picture is so dark and wonky, but today when I pulled out my trusty little Canon A300 all was dark. I poked, prodded, and even changed the batteries to no avail. With no warning, (It was fine when I used it the other day) my almost four year old digital camera was dead. I had to use the camera on my phone for this amazing! progress picture and well, let’s just say that as soon as I am done here I will be headed to Amazon or somewhere similar to compare and price new cameras.
I am a little sad that my camera died. It has been the pictorial companion to this written chronicle that I refer to as my blog for the past four years. It has been with me through some very happy times as well as some devastatingly sad ones. So, in spite of a certain someone’s opinion of it when I first got it, I feel like the money I paid for it was well-spent.
However, I must admit that I am just a little pleased that it expired. Obviously since it is an electronic gadget, it has been out-of-date practically since the day I bought it so I am rather eager to upgrade to a new model. I have learned a little bit about digital cameras since I bought it and know what features I will be looking for as “must haves” and which ones aren’t nearly as important as they seem.
Meanwhile, I will attempt to coax decent pictures out of my cameraphone and just hope nothing too camera-friendly presents itself to me.
