Playing around with my new camera has been tons of fun.  OF COURSE!  And I realized I have yet to post any pictures of my dog,  Jack Skellington.  Behold his super awesome cuteness.

Hello New York!  I can’t believe that I have not been back to New York in almost TWO years.  That is just craziness to me.  I’ve been totally fortunate that it has only rained once since I have been here and that was for only a few hours.  I haven’t walked this much since… well, since I was here last.  I love me some Los Angeles, don’t get me wrong… but you know what I can’t do there?? Eat perogies at Veselka at two in the morning.  The other thing that L.A. is missing is B&H.  If you’ve never been there, it’s basically porn shop for photographers.  I mean that have a full blown audio/video department as well, but I just beeline it straight to the photo dept and try not drool too much.  Here’s why they are so super great.  You can walk into any department, ask a miriad of annoying questions and they will gladly answer your questions and guide you to the exact right thing you need.  I LOVE IT!  I went in, I asked tons of questions, I took a bunch of notes on what I want to purchase later so I don’t have to schlep a bunch of stuff on the plane, and then headed over to the digital point and shoot camera section.  What did I buy you ask? Nothing fancy, but there is a Zeiss lens involved, I won’t lie.

Here’s what this neat lil camera can do.  Be amazed with my super arty photos I took down by the river in Williamsburg.

It feels like lately all of my past hobbies or studies have been coming into play.  Mostly, I have been spending my time when not cooking, making floral arrangements. Lots and lots of floral arrangements.  I love it.  I always try to stay away from perfectly symmetrical designs.  When you look at flowers in a garden what you’ll see is that naturally, the flowers bloom in different places and at different times.  So when I arrange flowers, I try to create a composition that works with the flowers I have to create a natural look and if some of the flowers have yet to bloom, I factor that in for later.

What I have discovered, is that I NEED a small camera.  A little digital point and shoot so that when I am doing such projects I can quickly photograph them and share with others.  Any suggestions are most welcome.  Working for years with my Canon DSLR is great, but not the most convenient for when I am volunteering in the mountains and want to quickly document what I’m doing.  And lets be honest, I would love one with a Zeiss lens   The upside of this purchase, is I’ll start posting the photos of my arrangements for everyone…

So please, anyone who has a point and shoot camera that they love, love, love, please help point me in the right direction!!!
