| Michael hard at work! |
I never fully understood what my eldest daughter J was talking about when she kept mentioning food porn. Well, let me tell you, I have learned since I started this blog. There are a lot of people out there blogging about food and taking pictures that make me drool. You look at the picture and can taste the food the pictures are so fantastic. I am more of an amateur. We are taking pictures right now with Michael's phone and even though they are not bad, they are no where near the level of so many others. I need to just break down and buy a new camera but for some reason I keep hoping that one day my camera will decide to focus. I have done everything they suggest on the fix your camera yourself web sites short of opening it up. I find it amazing that its less expensive to just go out and buy a new camera than have it fixed. How bizarre is that. Actually it is an interest commentary on our society and how so much has become just disposable. Camera broken? Throw it out and get a new one. Tired of the dog? Throw it out and get a new one. You get the drift.

Anyway, I wanted to freeze the shrimp purchased at the grocery store yesterday but they needed to be prepped before hand. Part of that prep was de-veining and even though I have a tool for that, the shrimp are usually destroyed by the time I do it. Michael stepped in and did it for me! What a great guy! Bear is our recycling bin, he loves the shells from the shrimp so even though you don't see him, he is right at Michael's feet waiting.
I agree Colleen, time for new camera. It's so frustrating when electronics don't work, because you can't fix them. I have a 4 year old hand me down panasonic dmc-fx10. This little camera is 10 times the camera I've ever owned. It's small, uses rechargeable batteries that last a long time and it takes great pictures. I posted a picture of a bicycle with a trailer, I had clicked on photo to enlarge it and noticed a dollar bill behind the front wheel. I was impressed. No, I didn't use a tripod, just point and shoot. Good Luck. See photo here: http://ablazeofbrightblue.blogspot.com/2011/08/homeless-in-seattle.html
ReplyDeleteI just keep hoping that it will suddenly decide to heal itself! I have started looking around and pricing camera's though. Perhaps a trip with Michael to the local pawn shop is in order. I am not a great shopper there though as I don't haggle at all.
