112508

i guess this is the last picture i will show from my oldcam for a while (it is not even really that old - ha - when did i get it? spring? summer?), as the newcam has arrived! of course it came on MONDAY, when i had to finish working on the magazine and then was too tired to play with it very much. and of course, on the workdays it is too dark when i get home to go outside. but … there is a long weekend coming up and i am home alone!! i timed it nicely! i shall not feel lonely, missing my people (at least not *too* much), with my new friend. her name is Aretha!

for a change, i am not going to sell my oldcam. i really like it, for a pocketcam, and it doesn’t take up too much space. Aretha is very light, but complicated, and it will take a while to get used to her, i know, even though i am familiar with the Lumix cams. i will read the manual! i can’t really stand around punching a bunch of buttons and remembering numbers when i shoot, but i would like to know some nifty things to do on the fly. i know she is going to be sweet! i think i am going to rent a little car this weekend and we are going somewhere! oh!

    Aretha! So she’s bold and brazen with sophisticated complexity - yet light on her feet and great to dance to! You know your images just thrill me.
