My Camera’s Taken Hostages!
The battery in my trusty Canon G2 is dying. There are no two ways about it. I charge the thing up, take a few pictures and the camera powers down with no warning. It’s become so bad, I can’t even download the photos I took this evening and I’m dying to see a couple of them in their full glory (or total mediocrity…it’s kind of hard to tell in the tiny LCD screen).So, in a fit of vexation and self-indulgence, I purchased a new battery and…a niiiiiice present for my upcoming birthday: an external flash! Woo hoo! I was thinking of going crazy and buying a brand new camera, but after talking to my photo wiz of a brother and to Christine, a fabulous photographer herself, I decided to stick with my G2, learn all I can about it and try out a few accessories. Down the road, I may try wide-angle and telephoto lenses. That’s an exciting prospect!
What I REALLY want to do when I get the new battery and the flash is to take pictures of my kids. They’ve been growing soooo much and I’ve just been too preoccupied to record all their changes and activities. I’ve got a lot of interesting ideas for portraits and some fun excursions planned.
Edited to add: Just got the camera charged up so I could rescue the photos I took earlier. I really like the one I added to this post! It was inspired by pics taken by BoggsParty of Five and Sesame Ellis.
