occasional unexplained blur

oh no

my fantastic, adored, nearly 10 year old camera is dying ... thankfully it's a slow death, marked by occasional blurry images, & giving me time to ponder it's future replacement - and there will be a replacement. Technically there is, and has been, a freeze on any & all superfluous spending here at Black Street 'cause basically I'm broke but the thoughts of living my life without a good camera ??? well that would just be wrong, & therefore a new camera I believe to be a necessity.

I have been buying cameras at Carsand-Mosher for as long as I can remember I'll once again use their expertise to help me decide which one to buy - it must have super macro function and be easy to use but other than that I'm open to having a big, long camera conversation.

oh yes - I'm so in LOVE with Pitt pens - and oh my (or oh no) they come in 48 colours - hooray.

oh yes
- also in LOVE with Jonathan Franzen - my current favourite author with more quirk & character in one page of his big, fat novels than you can shake a dying camera at. Currently reading Strong Motion after loving both The Corrections and Freedom.

oh yes - could my new low/no carb eating plan (no sugah, no gluten) be alleviating my life long struggles with depression & anxiety - I think maybe - hooray !! plus steady weight loss. I feel clearer, calmer & happier with lots more energy and you stop craving carbs & sugar instantly.

  1. Ohhhh, this is not good. It's like losing a limb. I have to say Nikon has been a workhorse for me. We need to have a Etsy Buy Drive so we can get you a new camera.

  2. Once again Susan comes through... Curious about this Carsand-Mosher place--never heard of it--I followed the link and found they do Shoebox Scanning, 500 prints, $100. I have been looking for a reasonably priced service for six months, gave up. I will let them know how I found them.

  6. Susan, we want to know more about this sugar/gluten free low/no carb plan you are working. ANYTHING that helps my husband's out of control anxiety and depression is welcomed.

    Can you tell I am playing "catch up" on many missed posts?
