I'm still here. . . .

but not a lot to talk about.  I haven't spent much time in the studio- I did spend several days horizontal, going through Kleenex at a very rapid rate.  I hate colds.

I do have a new toy.  I love my SLR, and have learned a lot about photography with it.  But I decided I wanted a smaller camera that I could carry with me all the time.  I did some research, picked several models that I thought would work for me, and started haunting the two used camera websites to see what they had.  I ended up with a Nikon S8000- a point and shoot that got decent reviews.

I've had it ten days.  I haven't played with it as much as I'd hoped, but I have done some.  So far, so good.  I've deleted a bunch of photos I wasn't happy with.  I do like this one of a sunrise- the sky colors were just amazing.


It has been slow or no going on the creative front.  I'm hoping to change that this long weekend.  I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with family and gratitude.

I am an SLR person. I willingly take it on travels, but I hate to schlep it to a party, so I miss a lot of memories. I really need a P&S that will fit in my purse. Thanks for the recommendation. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Love the photo and have a great Thanksgiving with great food! I think I had the same cold. I am over it now but it was not fun for a week!

Beautiful photograph! Have fun with your new camera. I've been looking at new cameras but have decided to buy a couple additional lens for my camera instead. I did buy a tiny point and shoot to carry in my purse but it's rarely there when I want it.
