A new toy

After years without one, I bought a camera.

I’ve had my eye on the Lumix DMC-TZ1 ever since I read Kevin Kelly’s recommendation on Cool Tools. While I researched reasons not to buy it, one of the reasons I settled on it was the 10x optical zoom—the last camera in the family had a puny 3x zoom, and I knew I wanted more in the next camera.

This one is also small enough to fit into my purse, but heavy enough to warrant removing some of the items I typically carry. There aren’t many to start with, so wielding the axe will be a painful process.

Hints and Guesses

These are only hints and guesses,
Hints followed by guesses; and the rest
Is prayer, observance, discipline, thought and action.
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.


T. S. Eliot, The Dry Salvages
