I posted some sets of pictures last night - pictures of halloween costumes for John, Alex Macensky, John's niece and nephews, my work outfit, and my evening costume.
Also posted my pictures from Sally Martin's wedding to Ian Ritchie in Richmond, Virginia that happened in September. I was really unhappy with the camera I was using for that wedding - you can see how many blurry pictures there were, with and without flash. My old Olympus 360DL was an utterly fantastic camera, so I bought the current Olympus equivalent - $300, pix up to big sizes, silent movie capability.
First let me restate how much I adored my old Olympus360 - I would walk through fire for that camera. I became an Olympus shill at every opportunity. I proselytized. I should probably just post my accolades to it in the extended entry, because they don't end. It was a spiritual bond.
Anyway, the newer camera just was a crushing disappointment, so I returned it to the store, paid the $45 restocking fee, and got myself the Canon A70, which is charming me in a similar way that the 360DL did. Not to get too ePiniony boring about it, but my access to joy really does increase with this little 300 buck purchase.
