they didn't have the camera in the store, but they had it in stock. interestingly enough, they're phasing out the exilim Z75 to make way for the newer model that's coming in time for christmas. they change up on those point and click cameras quicker than iAnything. i ordered it because i knew b&h prices were hard to beat. they were something like 20% less than anybody else i found.
what a low blow, to have to wait. but because they shipped in the city, i got it yesterday. now it's taking forever for the battery to charge. (i left it in overnight and it's still not ready.)
i wonder what my first shot will be?

today's the day
a few years ago, i made a wish out loud when i was hanging out at tracey moffatt's place one day: words weren't enough -- i wanted to take pictures of my world. tracey and franco mondini-ruiz promptly gave me enough cash to buy a casio exilim Z50, as a birthday present. and with that everything changed. my whole life exploded creatively in this whole other direction. i found myself wanting to tell stories with pictures. the little movies and photos i took compelled me to think visually. every click made me strangely happy.
and then the camera got stolen when my friend and i took a day trip to jersey one weekend.
i felt badly about it because that camera was from tracey and franco. but then again, they didn't give me the camera, per se -- what they really gave me is a visual life, a different way of looking at things. out of sentiment, i wanted the same camera but they don't make it anymore. so today's the day: i'm going to b&h this afternoon after church to get an upgrade.
i had a casio exilim, so i think i'm going to stick with that brand. i want to be able to take action shots and take better pictures in low light. and i don't want to pay more than $200 for it.
PS: here's the kicker -- a photo i took of harriet tubman's home for the aged in auburn, new york is to be published in a children's book about her, in the spring. (me, a published photographer? who knew? i didn't.)
how did they find me? someone googled me on flickr, of course.
