This past weekend I went to a local writer's conference and had a great time. I met the members of the local writer's group, got to meet the guest speakers, and even got to meet and pitch to Angela James of Samhain Press. So I got my pictures developed, and these are some of the pictures I'd taken since I bought this camera (to tell you how long it takes me to fill a throwaway camera- Larissa's signing was the day before Labor Day- it's now 3 days after Veteran's Day). 1) Larisaa at her first signing  2) Larissa and Michelle at their signing  3) Another shot of Larissa and Michelle (cause you Know if I'd only taken one- it wouldn't have come out).  4) You can't go to a book signing at a book store and not go browse the bookshelves. And we looked for and of course found her book on the shelves.  5)Cavalry reenactors- yes they were reenacting That War (I'd rather not name it-I don't want to be the victim of random google searches *g*). The things I do for my dayjob *g*.  6) My psychokitty-  7)This is my tribe's books bookshelf- and a prime example of why I need a digital camera-it's hard to tell, using a throwaway, that it's going to be out of focus (doh!)  8)I saw the pictures of Jennifer Crusie's office on her blog during the 12 days she took to organize it, and thought I'd post before and after pictures- this is the before (I never actually got around to taking the after pictures-sigh).  9)Another picture of psychokitty (aka Savannah Jane)- this time perched on the dining table, which is next to my computer desk.  10) the neighbors- always curious about what is going on.  11) More of the neighbors.  12)Another picture of the pond near my apartment.  13)Another reason I need a digital camera (and proof that I met Angie). I took this picture but the flash didn't go off, so I took another picture that was in focus, the flash went off, and the bloody camera took a picture of half of her (and ran out of film). Oy.

Very cool! However, a digital camera is still a pain in the butt. Mine is pretty old and low model, if you know what I mean. The darned thing is always running out of batteries. I missed Middle Monster's first day of school as a result. :-(
Yeah, I know what you mean, but for my purposes here, a digital camera really would be better. Most of the pictures I take are strictly for the blog, and this way I wouldn't waste film.
P.S. I've been trying to get to your blog but it's loading really slow, thought you'd want to know.
Sounds like you had a fun and productive time. Great pictures!
Pictures are always fun, even when blurry or with low light. Though I suspect I will rarely - if ever - use a film camera again. I have one that I use sometimes, but the last few times I have, the people who develop the film do a shoddy job on the exposure, and so I have to re-print the pictures anyway, using the same machine I would have used for digital prints in the first place.
Your girlkitty looks just like my boy! Doppleganger cats!
Fun pics, Ann! I *heart* your kitty - what a personality! And I keep wanting to go back and look at the books on your book shelf. ^_^
Happy Thursday!
Hi Ann, yeah, it was a fun weekend.
Hi Nicole- it's not their fault I can never remember to keep the flash button pushed down. :)
Hi Carrie- Is your boycat a psychokitty too?
Hi Cora- Yup she is definitely a personality. Next time I'll make sure you can read the spines. :)
Hmm, which half? My husband might enjoy that picture, depending;) lolol!
It was great to meet you, Ann!
Very cool! I wish we'd gotten an AFTER picture of the workspace, though.
Listen to me. Like I'm coughing up shots of my own place!!!
Hi Angela, I'll email it to you when I get home from work and he can judge for himself. *g*.
Hi Susan, As soon as I find the other throw away camera, I'll take more pictures and post the after (after I pick up first *g*). Things have been rather hectic around here lately). Off to work.
LOL, Ann--even with a digital camera, I seldom remember to upload pix until the memory card's full--which is why I've been posting pix from our August vacation. :)
Kitty is SO cute!!!! And the ducks! Love ducks...
You made me realise I do not miss my 35mm camera!! But then, with a digital camera, I tend to take more time to go and finish the pictures!!
Hi Darla, Yes, there is that, but at least you can download them on your time, and you don't have to have them printed if you don't want to, or pay for them. That's what I want/need. :)
Thanks, Larissa, she is cute, she turns 16 this Christmas, but still acts like a kitten sometimes (running around wildly).
Hi Jill- I wouldn't mind taking more time to finish the pictures, I just like the control you get with a digital camera.
Hectic? No idea what THAT is like... Look at me, unable to remember I already visited this post!
when you get your digital camera just be sure it is one that will store the pictures for more than a few days without depleting the batteries. i've lost a load of pictures twice that way and then found dead batteries when i went to use it again. keeping it hooked up to the computer after downloading the pics also drains the battery. i don't know if these problems are common to all digital cameras or only the cheep on we got. just be aware it can be an issue. oh and don't bother investing in a digital without a flash! that's another pain.
anyway. lotta good pics here. love pics of books. and kitties!
