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.

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.
