katallisonI am such a hopeless gizmo-whore.
See, I have a perfectly fine digital camera. Nice quality, takes really good pictures, etc. But ... it's a bit large and clunky to carry around routinely, and the moments of routine movement through the day are when I usually find myself wishing I had a camera at hand. So I did some idle window-shopping through camera websites, and came across the Canon S200, and was smitten. I spent some time being firm with myself, and then some time rationalizing, and finally I caved, and it arrived yesterday. Oh my golly. Not only is it ridiculously pretty, but it is tiny -- exactly the size of a pack of cigarettes, so that I can simply drop it every morning in the little inner pocket in my leather jacket.
I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but I took a quick shot yesterday on my way home from work, which I might pretentiously title "Moonrise with Grain Elevators." It's not good-- grainy as hell, because of the very low light conditions--but I rather like the impressionistic quality the grain lends, and hey, if it weren't for the convenience of this little gadget, I wouldn't have had the picture at all.
Electronic stuff is to me what shoes are to some women. (The downside is that it's generally more expensive than shoes. Ah well.)

Date: 2002-11-19 08:54 am (UTC)See, now I want one. I have your electronics addiction. I want one so I can take pictures of Mt. Rainier and the Olympics and Elliot Bay and the red red red maple leaves and of my new bed, and post them. And also of my cat.
Because the one thing we don't have enough of in fandom is pictures of people's cats, you know? =)
