I finally did it!

after a whole lot of hemming and hawing, I finally ordered that s200 I’ve been whining about for so long. thanks so much to neil and brian, who helped me find some kick-ass deals! I only wish I hadn’t waited so long to buy it that I missed out on those deals. it was still all right — found it on buydig.com for a total of $260. yay!

so here are some pics from my new camera! my best friend kipp came to visit from the bay area this weekend, so naturally, I snapped a few with him. more on kipp’s visit later.


my cluttery flatscreen. flash catches a little glare, but the pic is pretty sharp.


what a difference a flash makes. here’s my cluttery workspace all dark and blurry.


a pic of a nail clipper in macro mode.


kipp demonstrates why redondo beach is the most exciting place on earth. should have used a fill in flash on this. :(

yay! I get to see my bad pictures right away and figure out what I can do next time to make them look good. :) I still have memories of the time when I took 9 rolls of pictures from my summer travels (the 2002 olympic games, new york, boston) and upon developing them discovered that only about pictures out of the whole stack were any good. It was quite a sad day.

anyhow, that’s the most superficial of updates cuz i’m too tired to write anything thoughtful! so here’s some eye-candy. 0_o more on kipp’s visit and other stuff later…
