My New Toy!!
Apr 3rd, 2007 by admin
CS got me a new toy Sunday afternoon–a digital camera of my very own!! CS backpacked through Europe just before we married, and he’d bought a nice digital camera for the trip. Once back, he was a goner. We now have more cameras than I can count–film, digital, expensive, cheap, old, new. And I can’t work any of them! I have two (old) 35mm film cameras that I really don’t like and thus never use–especially since CS is usually wherever I want a picture taken: I point, he shoots.
But now that I am blogging, well, it’s a DIFFERENT WORLD! And I need my own small digital camera. It took NO TIME for me to convince CS that I needed said camera–he (not so secretly) hopes that I lose my interest in it and he’ll end up with it. So he did research and got me a really nice one. 
So Day One of having a camera was, admittedly, not too exciting. I am afraid my pics resemble CJ’s pics over at Absolutely Banana’s. Further, I haven’t learned yet (meaning CS hasn’t shown me yet) how to put a pic on this blog. So you’ll have to click to get to my new flickr account. I am sooo technologically savvy!!!
Here goes. A day in my working life:
1. Here’s the view I see out of my window sitting at my desk.
2. Here’s a closer view of the New Orleans Fairgrounds that you can see from my window (sorry, it was hazy out!). When I first moved to this office some years ago, another attorney asked how I liked it. I said that I liked that I could see the Fairgrounds nestled in the background. He responded in his deep New Orleans’ accent that “hoss racin’ is so tawdry.” Still love that line!!
3. Here’s the view outside my window from the other side of my desk. The Mississippi River is just beyond the buildings.
4. This is the view looking through the carafe on my credenza. I’ve been wanting this picture taken for YEARS!
5. Here’s the view if you go right up to the window and look down. Keeps me from jumping
6. Finally, here’s my reserved parking spot seen through my windshield as I am leaving for the day.
Exciting, huh? Just WAIT until I have something worthwhile to take a picture of!!
Stumble it!
ooh… digital cameras are so much fun!!
I like the picture taken through the carafe… very artistic!
Congrats!! Though I have to say I was a bit disappointed. A camera wasn’t what I was thinking when I saw the title. I was hoping for something a bit racier.
Take lots o’ NOLA pictures for me. You know how I love that city.
Oh–and I used to go to the track after classes on Fridays to bet on the ponies. Fun times!!!
I know where I am parking when I am downtown. Why no picture of your building look up from the ground?
It was great to see those views again. I am now on the first floor. While the view of the woods from my last office was great, the hood of a car is all I see now. I remember looking down at the rooftop pool at Le Pavillion!
