'Tis The Season

To buy shit, why not, everyone else is. So, new camera, first picture.


Basically replaced this ...


... with this.


Probably a better product, and two thirds the cost.

Wow. Last time I grew a beard, it was all white around my mouth--made me look like a mad dog. So I went with the mustache alone this time, and look like a pathetic biker wannabe. Or a narc. One of those.

My new(er) camera has 12megapixels also. It means I get to crop the shit out of stuff, and find that "good" picture that sometimes resides inside some of the crappy pictures I take. But it's a Pentax. I think, from looking, that your camera is better. So, you know, you win, or something. THIS TIME.

Last time I grew a beard it was black down the sides but had a white skunk stripe down the chin.

A miracle of science occurred. Some might think I kept Just for Men in business all those years (I even invented the Touch of Gray idea by jinkering with the set time) but that would not be true. See, with judicious application, a single box can last through 5 or 6 dye jobs.

A miracle of nature finally occurred. My beard is all one color now and I have forsworn the chemistry. A lovely side benefit is that my chin no longer itches.

P: Thx!

g: I carved it off today.

R: How d'you know it's "better"? I'm just gettin' to know this one and I-I-I dunno.

D: I, I, hm. No comment, actually.

My last camera was a Canon SD1100 PowerShot. I took tens of thousands of photos with it. I wore it out. Looks like yours went the extra mile too. My current camera is a Lumix 12x HD. It takes great photos but I still miss my Canon. It was more stealth, fit my hand better and was faster on the draw. Anyway, I'm getting used to the new one. It takes awhile.

Since we've gotten away from Don's former beard, I'll fess up that I still like the first digital I owned, a Kodak DC4800. Small chip, 3.1 MP, and a 3x optical zoom but it takes great pix. It also has the best native color saturation of any camera I've used (I like to oversaturate daylight pix).

It's is usually lousy in low light but it's fast and does a decent job with
fireworks.
