Ok, so I caved. I had to. There was no other choice... Honestly! You understand, right?
More like you are asking what in the wide world I am talking about, but its a start... let's go from there.
So, my story goes something like this... I went to the store to buy more film for my camera and when I couldn't find any, I asked the 18-ish year old punk with pink hair and multicolored fingernails who stocked the photo section where they kept their camera film. He looked at me quizzically, like I had dropped out of some old western movie and asked for a sarsaparilla or something. Then he looked directly in my face and actually suggested that they might have discontinued carrying film... *gulp*
Say WHAT???
THE HORROR! THE ABSOLUTE HORROR!
Well, it turned out that they did have some film still in stock... they had one two-pack left buried under the counter and it cost me like $10, but I got it.
The experience left me scarred, however. SCARRED, I tell you.
So, I bought a digital camera. There, I said it - I caved. I had to beat down all the archival training I have received over the last seven years and leave it as a sacrifice on the altar of the photo gods. Ain't no one gonna part me and my pictures! Better some pictures (even if digital files are corruptible and usually won't last 10 years - frequently lost to the boogey mans and monsters that haunt cyberspace) than no pictures at all, right?
Anyway, here are some of the photos I have taken with my brand new, sparkling symbol of cognitive dissonance. The ginormous stock pile of pictures from my regular film camera (which I have accumulated over the last four months) is still sitting waiting to be scanned (because like it or not, life hasn't slowed down since school ended... *sigh*) I will hopefully get to it a bit at a time. Meanwhile, enjoy these recent photos of the kids.
And coming up later this week... A visit from the family and a trip to the American West Heritage Center... exciting!
