Rhonda's Ramblings

My wonderful husband got me Photoshop as a very thoughtful Christmas gift. He’s really good at giving gifts.

My in-laws got me this gorillapod for Christmas.

There is one problem. My beloved camera, that I have had for years and have taken all over the country with me, decided to give up the ghost this week. I may have cried.

I’m not one to name my belongings, but it was like a friend to me. I know that’s cheesy, but I was pretty attached to my camera. It was small and compact and could fit in my pocket or purse. I could and did take it everywhere with me…hiking, sledding, roadtripping, to the river, around the farm, on our honeymoon, when we took the canoe out on the lake….you get the idea.

Let’s have a moment of silence for my camera.

Right now, our budget doesn’t really allow for a new camera. And someday, I really want a digital SLR. But our budget really doesn’t allow for that. (And I couldn’t take an SLR down the sledding hill with me.) So, I’d settle for another great point and shoot, but know that it will be a while before I can get one.

But today, as I was mourning the loss of my camera, and noticing so many picture-worthy moments, a flash went off. I have these “reward points” from a credit card that I need to use. I had thought about getting an i-pod with them, but just never have been sure. And thanks to my procrastination, I can now get a camera, which I would like much more than an i-pod, I’m sure. Now I just have to decide which one in my point range is the best for me. I think I’ll probably stick with a Canon SD. Mine was so good to me, and I don’t love change.
