Point & shoot

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..

TED talks

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.
