So how's it going with you? It's going okay with me. I did have to turn comment moderation back on because I was getting lots of spam comments. Let me tell ya, if I ever, EVER meet someone and they reveal that their job is to write spam, send spam, write code that writes and sends spam, I am going to punch them right in the face and then Rochambeau them. We all need to make a living, but there are better ways to make a living.

I hate, hate, HATE being wothout my camera. Yes, I am going crazy. Jenne and I went to the Howard County Fair on Sunday and there were tons of photo ops. ARGH! I leave the house without my camera and I don't feel right. That familar weight of the bag and gear is missing from my shoulder. I miss the camera in my hands and pressed against my face. Being without suck-diddily-UCKS! If I could afford it right now I would go and buy a D70S body, but I can't afford it. And I will not use credit. NOPE. Not going down that road. I want to get rid of the little credit card debt I have, not make it grow. It's all to easy to make it grow and not so easy to shrink it. So, I will continue to suffer without my third eye. I could try and not to look at the world and not see the photos ops, but that is in and of itself, impossible. Try getting a fish not to swim. When it doesn't swim it's dead and/or sushi. I have no plans to be dead, and I would be lousy sushi. Although over the span of my life I have told a number of people to eat me raw. RAW! RAW! RAW!

You still have a film body or two, don't you? Or, how 'bout an adventure with one of the Mamiyas?

Meanwhile, I'm discovering some of the fun of having a decent camera that works. We just got a Canon Powershot A410 -- hardly the newest or top-of-the-line, but probably the best camera I've ever owned -- and are taking plenty of pictures of our cross-country adventure. Check out our travel blog, if you want:

Meanwhile, I'll echo what others have said: dust off one of your old cameras, Will, and have at it! I know it won't be the same as having your baby back, but you might surprise yourself with some forgotten bit of technique that the newer camera doesn't need....
