It's the little things...

that make life so pretty

I've had a couple of dreams recently in which I'm carrying around a camera.
I wake up from these dreams with an overwhelming urge to capture SOMETHING... but what? I don't have anything super exciting going on.
Then, last night, as I layed there watching The Mr. play guitar next to me, it hit me.
This is gorgeous. This is worth capturing.
[Yes, I think HE is gorgeous, but I mean the moment]
Sure, it's something I experience almost daily... but it's a pretty part of my life that I don't want to forget. [Or a pretty part of my life that the people who come after me can get a glimpse of.]
All to often, I find that my pictures are all the same. The girls squishing together for a group shot, someones face smiling back at my cameras lense, arms over shoulders & making silly faces...
I just want to capture the moments as I remember them.
Therefore, today starts my hunt for a new camera. Mine looks like it's been through World War I &II.
Any recommendations?
It can't be a big clunky guy... he needs to fit in my purse or The Mr.'s pocket!

[i know how you love carrying my belongings in your pockets, babe.]
My legs occupying his pj's...

  6. Hi cutie! I can DEFINITELY help you (part of my business is consumer electronics) - email me your price point and any specs (megapixels, zoom, other features, etc.) and I will send you a spreadsheet of options! Also the camera Meredith mentioned above is a good one - so is the TL220 which has the dual view where you can see the LCD panel on the front of the camera (great for self portraits, couple portaits, etc.) :) Happy camera shopping, let me know if I can help!

  10. I like my Canon Powershot too. I can get great pictures out of that little package if I use it right. And it fits in my back pocket... or your purse or the Mr's pocket :-)
