trouble


This little ring is so pretty. Hmmm... Is this something I want to use a little part of my Totokaelo money on? I certainly could use a nice little thing to cheer me up, after all. My sister (she is visiting for 5 weeks!) and I walked down to the camera repair shop yesterday morning to have them take a look at my camera. They said that it wasn't possible to fix it, and that the only option would be to send for a refurbished one - which costs just about the same as a new one.

I turned away with my head hanging low and my heart broken. I really cannot afford to purchase a new camera right now, not with all of these New York plans approaching so soon. I am so angry at myself for dropping it the other day. What a dumb-dumb. A hard lesson learned; always wear the wrist band! What am I supposed to do without it?! That little guy was precious to me - I toted it around with me everywhere. 

This may mean fewer updates for a while, which makes me sad. I was really looking forward to taking lots of pictures at our pop-up shop next weekend. Hopefully I will come up with a solution soon. I simply cannot go all summer without one. I do not trust myself enough yet with my new/old analog camera to consistently take good pictures. There are too many great things happening in the coming weeks, I will be heartbroken if I'm not able to keep the memories in photos.

  1. I'd try Craigslist or Ebay for a used/cheaper camera. And if not, maybe one of your friends is looking for a new camera and would sell you their old one.

  2. maybe a disposable cameras would be a solution for that time? ..but i know pictures sometimes don't turn out the way you've planned or don't turn out at all..

  4. I use disposables pretty often already - but those prove to be difficult for everyday easy pictures. And like you said, they don't always turn out. I also can't update my shop (Little Dipper) without a digital camera. That little camera just made my life & bloggin' so easy and fun!

  5. maybe you can ask a friend of yours to borrow you a camera (or maybe someone got an old one which she/ he isn't using). i also dropped my camera 07 when i was in stockholm (on the 3rd day of our trip). it was horrible not to take pictures..
