money :/

Oh do I feel guilty, but I guess I shouldn't.

I bought a camera, oh boy did I. I took greyaenigma's advice and got an Olympus Stylus 300... I was planning to spend money to get something worth having, and well, I guess I just can't settle anymore because we doubled the budget on the spot when we got financing- we're still paying it off in 90 days, but we agreed that in 90 days we could afford twice as much camera so that's what we got. I almost left with a Canon that might have been a bit more spiff, and was the same price, but on the durability and weatherability scale was not what I wanted- it was also like a little block, where the Stylus is smaller than some cell phones I've had.

The battery will take another hour or so to charge, but soon after that (assuming software installation doesn't prove our needing a new computer or other lame circumstance) I should have pictures up with so much resolution you will need HOURS to load them! :) *evil snicker* I promise to use cuts- and I don't have enough free web space to go too insane so fear not.

But NEW TOYS! Woo hoo! I can't believe I just spent all that money...

Resized for the dial up user.

Here's some samples of my new camera- still getting used to it, but I am sure soon I will have sucked up all my hard drive space with images :)

( Cut for the innocent as promised )

I didn't manage to get any good ones of Crichton, I am sure with the proper setting (since I can't use a flash or I'll likely blind the poor guys) and the right amount of practise I will get something good in time- THEN I will sick a huge version on you :)
