Hurray for Technology or I Finally Got a Digital Camera

Okay, I will admit that I don't naturally gravitate to the latest and greatest in technology. But by working in a library setting, I get exposed to the hot stuff whether I want to or not. All I have to do is pay attention. No zoning out in this place. There's too much I might miss. I mean, just in the last few months I have graduated to a digital camera. Nothing fancy or expensive. But the darn thing is so easy to use! And, there is immediate gratification. I can see what I've done, delete it if I or someone else hates what's recorded, and go at it again, and again.

Yes, I am a lazy photographer. I really like that I don't have to worry about the aperature settings or take the film to Target for developing. We took the digital camera to Paris and learned in about ten minutes before leaving how to upload it to our Paris blog on E Blogger (with the help of AG at work). Friends at home were delighted to have the visuals and commented on our postings. Blogging and adding pictures right away enhanced my enjoyment of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I believe I watched this new and exciting place differently knowing that I would be posting what I saw for others to view within hours after having my experience.

Yeah, I'm having fun with my digital camera so much that I now have a Sansa MP3 player in my handbag too.
