Moon Shot

Originally uploaded by CABridges

I have acquired my Guilt Camera, the camera Teresa bought me to help assuage her guilt over spending money on the Bon Jovi concerts she plans to see in a few months. Never mind that she saved from her own money for over a year to do this; since her fairly low income childhood she's never quite gotten over the guilty feeling she gets when she buys something for herself, especially if she is forced to (gasp) buy it for the full price.

So she spent some of it on a new camera for me — which, coincidentally, will also be used to take pictures at the aforementioned Bon Jovi concerts — and I've been playing with it. My old Canon Powershot A630 has now been replaced with a Canon Powershot SX20IS. A bit more oomph than before, and much better in low-light conditions. Like, say, concerts.

More photos to come, I'm sure. And yes, this was bought at a discount with me chipping in, so she still managed to avoid retail.

I, by the way, have no problem whatsoever spending money on myself and am slowly teaching her the knack.
