Camera Fix
This proved to be the week of cameras for me. My digital camera finally bit the big one. I take it almost everywhere so it had a good run. A couple weekends ago, I brought it to the beach and true to it’s nature, the sand found its way into the camera and caused the camera to make very scary sounds. In the end, the lens just refused to focus on anything. So, that was that. I insisted on getting a new camera as soon as possible due to our trip to Ohio. Too many babies around to not have a camera.
The camera that broke was the Canon Powershot SD300, and I loved loved it.
My replacement camera is the Canon Powershot SD750 and it’s super-fance, but I still have yet to have any real bonding time with it. To be honest, I like the SD300 better but i’m also bad with letting go. I’m sure on many levels my new camera is better and takes infinitely “better” photos, but I just can’t stop comparing them and saying (slightly under my breath) “I like my old camera better.” Ah, ’tis life. This is the new fancy camera:
Also ANOTHER camera story. When I was in college at Parsons, I took a Photography studio class and for an in-class assignment the teacher gave everyone an old Polaroid Land Camera and told us to buy film and walk around the city and take photos. It was a great time and who doesn’t love polaroids? Land Cameras are pretty common, being that they were the standard back in the day, so everytime I go thrifting I come across them. A few years back, I finally bought one at a Salvation Army. It was in good shape and still had it’s carrying case with all the original manuals and whatnot. They still make film that works with this type of camera, but unfortunately a lot of the types of batteries these cameras take, are not standard. So to make a long story not as long, I found a place online that broke down each model of Land Camera and what batteries it takes and what film you can use. Finally, I’ll be able to put this baby to use:

I’ll post photos as soon as I get the film and batteries in the mail!
