New Toy

My boyfriend finds an infinity of ways to distract me.  Lucky me, this is the latest:


 Canon Powershot SX20 IS


As much as I hate to admit it, he's right about how having a camera such as this, with a ridiculous amount of macro and zoom, makes the user actually see what they're photographing, instead of merely clicking away.  I would add that its presence around one's neck turns the carrier into a better observer - noting the quality of the light, seeking the miraculous in both the mundane and the minute, astonished into action by eye-popping color.




 Looking like this makes a moment, an afternoon, a life... so that's what creative outlets are for!
