It all started when this was about to happen:
100_0076
(Dylan, Day 1)
And I needed a camera. You know, to document my child’s life. No biggie. My mom bought me a camera (GOOOO KODAK!). And it’s served it’s purpose. For the most part.

Then, THIS happened:
100_2638
Zach, Minute 2
Sweet, right? But wait a second…isn’t it a little bit blurry? GOOOO KODAK!

Okay, let’s try again:
100_2648
Zach, Hour 2
Well, that’s BETTER. But…different. A bit further away, not straight on, but at least it’s not blurry, right? GOOO KODAK!!!!

This one’s okay:
100_2635

But, let’s try to get one that’s better, and a little closer:
100_2783
Nope…still blurry. GOOO KODAK!

And remember the whole “Hoompback Whale” thing of last week? When DJ, Dylan and I were ALONE 6 miles out to sea and we were SURROUNDED by Humpback Whales? My pictures look like this:
100b6080
See that splash? That’s from a breaching Humpback. It was AWESOME. Sorry you missed it. Unfortunately, that’s what ALL my pictures look like because my camera was incapable of taking a photo at the right time. And NO, it didn’t have ANYTHING to do with the inability of the user.

The moral of the story is that I need want a new camera. I even asked for one in another post. And if you read Playgroups Are No Place For Children, then you know that Jennifer wants a new camera too. She wrote this not too long ago.

We’ve decided to work together, which is a MUCH better deal for me than it is for her, but SHHH-don’t remind her of that fact. Here’s the plan…every Monday we’re going to write something kindly requesting that one of the manufacturer’s of DSLR cameras send us a camera. In return, we will only have wonderful, glowing, kind, positive things to say about it and them. FOR.EVER. Hopefully we’ll wear them down (because you KNOW that Nikon, Sony & Canon totally read our blogs EVERY DAY) before we alienate all of you, our faithful readers. Have I told you how lovely you look today? Because you do. REALLY! You do!

And if you work for Nikon, Sony, or Canon and you’re here because you saw that some random Mommy blogger was linking to you and you wanted to find out what I was saying…Hi!! YOU look great today TOO! That’s a FABULOUS color for your skin tone. Oh, how it brings out your eyes. I wish I had a nice camera so I could take your picture to show you. If I used my camera to take your picture, you’d just be all blurry and bloated. It’s too bad, really. See? Now my lack of having a decent camera is going to ruin your day too…it’s just an unfortunate situation for us all.

And don’t worry, dear, lovely readers. Next week I’ll do it like Jennifer did today. Short & sweet. Maybe.
