I will be posting much more of this set later, but found this one on the first pass-through and fell in love.

Since my arthritis and other issues have recently worsened, I’ve decided to give up on my heavy digital SLR, at least for now. Last week I picked up a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, a display model from Kenmore Camera. While it is a light-weight, compact camera, it is exceedingly customizable and has full manual menus.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting experimental photos from my camera as I learn its ins and outs.

A Lion in the Sun #2

Quote of the Moment

I loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
