point & shoot

about this project...

This whole thing started when I decided to do a 365 project in January of 2011 (one photo a day for a year). But then my camera broke. And that's kind of funny because it had finally occurred to me that you can't plan life. So I stopped seeking out photos to take and started living a little more. And I got back into volleyball, and I planned a trip to Tuscany and I took an Italian class. And I reconnected with old friends, made some new ones, jumped out of a plane, decided to play softball for the summer and discovered that I like to drink tequila and, hell, I even moved into Manhattan! And then the time was right so I bought a NEW camera to take some new photos with, and I'll share them with you here. So, welcome to my non-project. Or, as I like to call it, life.

BROKEN CAMERA?!

:(

Well, this is somewhat inconvenient. I'm going to have to play catch up, I suppose. I guess I can start posting other photos I've taken this year in the interim until I get this situation under control, but I clearly have missed a few days (and will miss a few more) of photos. Unless of course someone would like to donate a camera to my project... anyone?? Haha, yeah....

So the problem is that I'm getting a lens error and I can't turn my camera on. Went to a repair shop today, and it seems canon doesn't make any replacement parts for the model I have. For around $160 they will replace my camera. I paid around $300 for this camera, and they want me to pay another $160 for a replacement? Can we say markup?! Mothereffers! I haven't even had it for 6 months! Canon is making me very sad right now. I'm going to call them this week to see if they will replace a camera with no receipt... ugh... not looking good...

So sad...
