a friend posted this on her facebook earlier...

Move out of your comfort zone.
 You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
after reading your responses and talking to my bf, Rebecca, I have decided to look for another camera...
but I am going to send my Canon in and see about getting it fixed...
and I will keep it for a spare...
I just did a mini photo shoot for White Wednesday...
it was so easy!...
I could use the flash and the automatic focus...
no touch ups at all...
I did crop and put my border and name on them...
but that was all...
took 10 minutes...
start to finish...
with my camera...
the photo shoots take longer because my flash will white everything out so bad...
if I turn the flash off...
I lose my auto focus...
so I have to be perfectly still or they will blur...
there are a lot that get deleted because I am a bit shaky sometimes...
I use different things for a mini tripod...
and sometimes I have to reshoot the whole thing...
so this will save so much time for me!...
and just wait till you see my post tomorrow night!...
Hugs and thanks everyone!

I need your opinion...

what do you think of these photos...
and be brutally honest...
these were taken with Craig's girlfriend's camera...
these are all straight out of the camera with no touch ups at all...
I can see a major difference, but can you tell these from all of the others I have posted?...
not only do I think the pics are clearer...
but the colors are better...
just look at this one...
and here...
I shot some inside and some out...
so is it time to retire my old buddy?...
it's 10 years old...
and I have taken thousands of shots with this...
and it was a pretty good camera in it's day...
I am so torn...
I like comfortable...
I do not like change...
I do not toss things aside just because they are older...
so, if you would let me know what you think...
I would so appreciate it...

I am so sad...

MY CAMERA IS NOT WORKING!...
I CALLED CANON AND THEY ARE SENDING AN EMAIL WITH THE POSTAGE AND I HAVE TO MAIL IT BACK TO THEM AGAIN...
DID THIS A FEW YEARS AGO- THE CENSOR WAS RECALLED...
ALL I HAVE IS A BLACK SCREEN...
SO THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT AGAIN...
FOR FREE...
BUT IT WILL BE ABOUT 10 DAYS...
I KNOW I NEED THERAPY...
IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG 10 DAYS...
NEED IT BACK FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER AT LEAST...
CRAIG'S GIRLFRIEND HAS A CAMERA, SO MAYBE SHE WILL SHOOT THINGS FOR ME UNTIL I GET MINE BACK....
WWWWWAAAAAHHHHH!

Yesterday was great!

we were all here...
watching tv...
eating...
nappin...
rearranging...
it was good...
the chillier weather has come and it so feels like fall now...
the kids and I went for a walk in the early evening and about froze our butts off...
I made a note to wear more clothes out there...
Craig's girlfriend, Tia, took this photos for me as the sun was going down...
Moses is working out just fine and he has his forever home...
we just love him...
and it seems he loves us!
I can even get my shower with the door closed now...
oh, but he is such a little beggar when we eat...
trying to get caught up on a lot of little things this morning...
haven't talked to Rebecca yet, so maybe she will call on her lunch hour...
the sun is shining and it's a whole whopping 49 now...
it was 28 when Craig headed off at 8 for classes...
just 3 more weeks of school for him!
have a great day...
