i guess i’m not sure exactly why i want such a *good* camera anyway since the images i take the most delight in are the ones that come from my … pencam! or jamcam! but, i do like to capture easily and reliably with a good, basic cam and then make transformations, too. also the thought of making them BIG is tantalizing. i am still vascillating about the fz50. last night i played around a little more and even Read The Manual (instead of a novel, in bed) and i have a much better grip on the numbers now. it doesn’t seem to be as hard as i thought! but it is just so BIG. the Uzi was also big and i was fine with it. but i have been carrying tinycams around for a while now. i like to be sly and incognito when i am capturing. i don’t want you to see this big black barrel pointing at your little housey. or *you*. ha ha!
well. there is still the test of wandering to be performed this weekend. if this day ever ends, that is. i think we are making quiches for xmasDay dinner. i sort of wish we could go out, but i’m afraid everyone would think that too costly (as if a pile of fancy groceries from the Merc are any less so?) and i doubt there is a place open in town on that day. oh well. perhaps i will just let betsy and my poet cook! and i’ll paint! mostly i am excited that i have a LONG weekend and it is a weekend of no work and no travel. the first in over a month! wheee.
