No
dropping the camera this time.
Progress. I made a real effort to
find something besides roses in the images I was shooting…ants, bees, or aphids
for instance. Unfortunately, I didn’t
find anything that really amused me. The
bees were mad about this succulent, but as far as I know not on any of the
roses my camera visited.
Yes,
I have three of these old but excellent Canon’s, and they would be vastly
better if I didn’t keep dropping them.
The camera I took with me this trip met with a soft carpet recently, and now the focus light doesn’t
always come on or stay on. Is the
picture in focus? I haven’t the faintest
idea. Most of the pictures I took this
trip were by braille.
I
hesitate to use the good camera, and I resist using one of the other Canon
point and shoots. I really don’t want to
shoot any more series by braille if I can avoid it.
I decided today that the book I am reading about French politics is not worth my time after almost 100 pages in...so going to read a book of good short stories to see if I can apply the structure to my little but long short story I am working on. I think what you may need is a wrist strap. I never use any of my cameras without a neck strap or a wrist strap.
ReplyDeleteWe once dropped a p&s when they were still young and expensive. And that was the end of that camera.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about shelving books reminds me of the time I with two professors and a friend organized the Sociology Dept library. Everyone had a different idea about whether a book went here or there.
ReplyDeleteMy advisor said he didn't care where each individual book went, he just wanted to be able to find them later.
Later, I got a job in the main campus library. I realized after a year or two of handling books that how you catoagorize them is a matter of perspective. The categories are in our minds, and minds seldom meet. That's why for years we relied on Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress.
Did I ever tell you about the time I was offered a job by the LOC. didn't take it. The Congressman I worked for, a conservative from Chicao recommended I take the private sector job I had been offered. I think he was wise. Can you imagine the rrustration of working for the Library of Congress?
Cinderella was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteNo more dropping cameras!
I need to work on my assertiveness, too. And I try to avoid negativity in people and reading. Avoiding my own negative thoughts and words is harder, but I am working on it.
