I need to buy a reasonably cheap but decent point-and-shoot camera. I’m mostly interested in Canon models (I’ve always been a Canon buddy), but I’m totally lost. I haven’t owned a point-and-shoot since 2003 and I’m more inclined to trust someone’s own judgement rather than a review. It’s mostly just for when I am out and about and don’t want to carry around my huge backpack at clubs/events/shows/friends & family dos. At the moment I’m totally obsessed with this Canon Digital IXUS 100 (bit old but would do the job?), but mostly because it’s entirely red and I am of course obsessed with the colour red. I’m pretty ridiculous. As soon as I see anything that’s red I instantly think, oh that’s nice, without even considering what it does..
So.. Any ideas/recommendations? Help!
I am so tired of my photography right now.
… somehow ended up at a twelve year old girl’s Lady Gaga themed birthday party. Usual weekend then…
Forgot to post this insanely amazing burger cake that was god knows how many pounds of PURE SUGAR that the girls made for me for my house warming.
After years and years of R telling me to watch some of the educational talks on TED, I finally got around to watching a few. I suspect that there are a fair few boring ones on there (I do get a bit lost when it comes to science), but these three really stood out to me.
Firstly, Jill Bolte Taylor’s “Stroke of Insight” (very moving):
Mark Roth’s “Suspended animation is within our grasp” (almost seems unreal)
And finally, Miru Kim’s “Underground Art” in which she photographs nude self-portraits in some of the world’s most amazing derelict locations. Beautiful work.
My new neighbour, who is an absolute darling lady, brought over a cake for me to share with Kt & C the other day. Mmm.
In other news I spent the day at John Jones‘ jumble sale, looking for frames. Found a huge 60″x25″ panoramic frame that will look amazing in the new house (with the elements series), plus a couple of 12″x8″ frames. I am really excited as I am trading some prints with the wonderfully talented Elisa Lazo de Valdez who I have been following (stalking?) for god knows how long. I picked up some red paint (of course) and painted the frames this afternoon. I am so so so excited to put some lovely art on the walls.
