It's not the Canon Digi-Rebel I'd dreamed of... nope. BUT-- I feel like a whole person again! It's really hard being an artist without a pallet. So! I finally broke down and though I just couldn't commit to the one I really wanted- I did commit to something! Yeah!
Took it straight out of the box and had it flashing within moments of the battery going in! Ahhhh... I felt instant relief. As if I'd been panting for liquid and had just been doused! Of course- hadn't any superb subjects to snap, so just got chur basic cat and dog being petted by the Mr! Made Mom cheeze it up with me for a self-portrait.. showed her how easy it was to use. I think she wants one, too-- hint, hint- Daddy! I figure you'll want one, too- as it's so much quicker than our old outdated digi cameras that are only three years old! Imagine! Such speed and quality-- and as Byron was commenting: he'd paid $400 something for a top of the line 1.5 megapixel five or six years ago and had a real "Christmas story" fiasco and the last one available kind of story to go along with the present!
Anywhoo-- I'm in business again. I was commenting to Mom that thankfully- the old camera had died almost within hours of my departure from visiting friend, Doralisa- that was back in September! I've been THAT long without a lens! OUCH!
I feel almost like a human again-- no.. better! Am singing today! And, yes- I did go out really early and snapped a few pics of the heavy frost and the sunlight pouring into our old oak tree that was shedding leaves like a shower. Kinda pretty-- the bright orange glow and the leaf show. I'll hook everything up and post it later-- I'm off to dash off after more scenery!
