It’s a brick. Just mortar it in a wall somewhere…

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *Some April Fool’s joke! My Canon Powershot G1 is a brick.
Dead as a door nail. I know this is dumb, but I’m depressed. I had that camera for about 4 years, and took over 3500 pictures with it. What happenned? I dunno. It doesn’t work anymore.
Anyone want to send me a new one? I’m sitting in the lobby of the hotel, posting this right lamenting my situation over a giant beer.
I bought a FILM camera - woah! I decided that having abackup would be good. But I wanted a camera I undedrstand, and know what the picrtures look like coming out of it.
My girlfriend said I could borrow hers, but I just like having my own.
So the economics work out like this: I’m gonna buy a D-10, or a Digital Rebel when I get back state side, but for now, I bought a cheap sub $200 film camera, and enogh film for like 7 days.

I took one roll in about 2 hours today already.

I fugure I get a $200 camera, a bunch of film, and just get CD’s out the other side until I can get back home. Processing the film shoul cost me another $150 bucks, so I think I’m OK.

What a bummer. I gotta start making minimum payments on the credit card to pay all this down when I get home.
