fun little camera

I have been using a Canon Powershot S200 Digital ELPH, on loan from my brother until the return from our Virginia/Washington D.C. trip, as my camera of choice. It is a very easy-to-take-pictures-with kind of camera. With my Rebel, I know I’m taking pictures, you know I’m taking pictures, the whole world knows I’m taking pictures… but with the little Powershot, I know I’m taking pictures, you may think I’m taking pictures, but the whole world… well, I could be playing with an mp3 player or some sort of PDA so who cares about pictures?! The Olympus D-450 digitial camera we have been using takes wonderful pictures but is not nearly as covert. I’m sure my brother will want his Powershot back eventually, but for the time being, I am having fun.

We have our first photo outing planned and it will be 100% digital. David has agreed to go downtown with me to get pictures of Austin and the Capitol for our little website here. I would like to do something on the first page… with a picture of the Capitol and pictures of downtown are always fun… even if soley taken for an artistic purpose. I look forward to tomorrow.
