Technology has had me miffed for a few weeks. My laptops motherboard quit, but I had enough warning to subscribe to Carbonite, so my new laptop has all my old photos! Then my old camera's memory sticks are too old for the new laptop. and Sony does not make a driver for my camera to hook up with Windows 7. I did not want to buy another camera, so I hunted around cyberspace until I found a way to work around the problem. It is not perfect, but it works.
The whole camera issue made me long for my old film camera. I have a huge telephote lens, which would be awesme for my digital. They do make some digital cameras that take the old standard lenses, but of course, not for my model. I don't think I can go back to film, but I can't quite say goodbye either, so it hangs in a bag and collects dust. I like being able to manipulate my reference photos easily. I finally got comfortable using Picnic, and that went away last week. Now I will have to use some program with monkey in its name. I guess I will have to stop getting used to things and keep embracing change, because everything certainly does and frequently. A new week ahead and I will try to fill it with ART!
