Calendar Girl Blog: Santas' Mug

Turns out, the three fantastic guys I was going to hang out with were talking big and couldn't deliver. Reality exists for Super Hero's too. So, not being the moppy type, I took myself out Christmas shopping and purchased my first new camera in fifteen years.

Before I go into the details on my latest aquisition, let me state that I love my 300 pound SLR 35 mm Nikkormat, steel body camera. I have hauled the beast through the heat of Africa, the stormy shores of Vietnam and the idyllic haze of Thailand. Plus a billion places in between. I love that camera, as I've already stated, sore shoulder and all. Should I ever get my ass in gear and buy a scanner, I will show you why.

But...and this is me recognizing that if one is playing with technology and communication, then ones choice of toys is important....I had to 'get in the program'. Further, and completely obvious, I publish a frigging fine art photography calendar. A camera from this century, might just come in handy here and there....

My new camera is a Canon Power Shot A610. Five megapixels, 4x's optic zoom. I've programmed it to chirp like a bird and bark like a dog. And it appears, that I've down/up loaded my shot, which I trimmed, from camera to computer to blog.

Most spectacular effort for the scaredy cat I am. Drum roll please!

Above is a pic I took of some other fantastic guys I hang out with. Santa mugs grace my coffee table for much of the year. I drink wine, water, juice, booze, tea, cocoa and coffee out of them. When I entertain, my guests chose the Claus that speaks to them and they too drink the beverage of the evening. Tis jolly and merry fun. Ho Ho Ho. Deck the halls. Hark and all that childish silly stuff.

Calendar Girl may go through a photo phase over the next while. Hopefully, she won't spin out on the learning curve, and crash into one of the growing snowbanks in her land.

BTW, is it up or downloading? And besides the obvious, what's the difference?
