visions of beauty...3 eye style...

i had to cop a replacement digicam the week before last. i've been using the Coolpix S550. the battery door on the current 1 will not stay closed. not a good look. this is especially true since the media slot is in the same location. i'm usually pretty good at rigging things when they break, but this was a clear no fix.

i was able to make contact w/Nikon using their twitter feed (nikonusadotcom) & will be sending the original in for hopeful repair service. the warranty period ended back in January of this year, so i'll have to come out of pocket. i'm not too mad. these things can happen.

it would appear that 1 of the godren got at the camera while it was sitting on 1 of the tripods. ultimately it is my fault for leaving the digicam out where it could be easily accessed. in a way this works out because every member of the 4fam will have a digicam once the original gets repaired. it's quite interesting to see their visions of what is interesting & how they like to capture it.

i grew up w/cameras, so capturing images is part of the way i live. a DSLR is definitely in the plan, but for now it's P&S. my challenge is to learn how to use the technology to present my vision to other humans. capturing just the right image can be frustrating at times, but it is ultimately rewarding. it teaches me to appreciate the intracacies of the universe more.

how?

even though i now wear glasses, my eyes can still see things at times that the camera is not able to capture. the human eye = the original camera & my memory/mind serves as the infinite media.

makes me glad i have a long memory...

PEACE
...be calm...
