Loving My New Camera

I received my new digital camera on Wednesday, and have been playing with it since then. I'm very excited. I even brought it to Beverly Hills last night, where Carmen, Shanna and I went to hear Dr. Cooper talk about the Fante biography, though I didn't take any picture of him. We sat in the very front row, so appealing our presence to Dr. Cooper. I loved to hear him talk about the book, and it was great to get a personalized signature on my book. Fun night.

Anyway. I got off track. About the camera. Yes I brought it and Carmen and Shanna let me take pictures of them, knowing how eager I was to use it. I could have even made a book of their photographs if they allowed me to though I decided to be reasonable and just took a couple of photos. I might even try to bring it to school, but, as small as it is, it'd still be a little conspicuous to sneak shots in class.

Ah. I'm like a little kid with her new toy.
Tired of taking pics of myself from the same angle, I decided to pick a better subject, but there isn't much in my room that would look good in pics (including myself).

　

So here's what I found. The fox from "The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupery. He is my favorite character, along with the elephant-swallowing boa. I got him at the Little Prince Museum when I took a one-day trip to Hakone with my mother before I came to the US. A pretty museum in a beautiful place. And good hot-springs, too. Anyhow, these are the two best shots of him I've got so far on my messy desk.

Well. Time to go back to the papers.
But maybe tomorrow, I'll go out and take more pics.
