Camera Ready!

Well, not quite. The battery is charging. Five hours seems to take, like, five hours or something.

Everything else is good, although the final proof of that will likely be in the format of a picture, cleverly uploaded without development costs. Funny, Deb's had a digital camera for a little while now - since last Christmas? - but I still think of the need for film, even though I haven't taken any pictures since then.

Speaking of film, I handed off the beautiful, 15-16 year old Fuji 35mm to Justin. Gave him the Short Course in the features he's never had to worry about snapping a quick picture, but that he might want to play with on his own. As I'm not sure how Deb would react, I made clear it's a loaner. That camera was the first real - and expensive! - gift Deb ever bought for me, lo' those many, many moons ago.

No development costs? Hah! Only if you don't want to make prints. I figure this or next week-end I'll figure out how to transfer my photos to the computer and also to the printer. but I do not really care for this kind of stuff. Dan has finally agreed I can give it to him. So much work to it and all that stuff to remember. Nope, I'll stick with the quick disposable & cheap prints for the few times I take photos and want to easily send or show them to others. Pix on the computer aere just not for me. Aaaaaggghh - I'm a Luddite!

Naw, you're just electronic device instruction impaired.

Don't feel bad, Dad was an electrical engineer, and I had to walk him through recording one channel and watching another on the VCR... =)

I actually don't want to make prints, for the most part. Maybe if I take something really exceptional I might make it into a poster or something. But unless dumb luck or a certain mill in Sudbury wander by, my photography skills leave a lot to be desired.
