My Ordinary, Ordinary Life...


It's the first rainy day in Seattle for weeks, and after the downpour, I thought it would be nice to go for a walk and pick up some yogurt and after rain shots of the garden.
As you can see, the macros on my Olympus Stylus 1000 seems to be working wonderfully. However, I've been reading so much about the Canon Powershot S90 (or S95) that I'm really very tempted to get one. On one hand, I'm telling myself I've had the Olympus for three years so it's really time to get an upgrade that handles night shots better... yet on the other hand, spending $400 on a camera when I'm a student with no stable source of income seems just extravagant and unnecessary. Considering that I can manipulate the Olympus pretty well, perhaps the Powershot won't make that much of a difference in my photographs.

Tomatoes on the Vine. The plant fell over because the fruits were too large.

I just looked out my window and noticed one of my neighbors standing on his porch with an acoustic guitar. It looks like he's tuning. What on earth??? We live on a quiet residential neighborhood in Seattle, so street musicians are generally not appreciated to a great extent. I do hope he's not planning to start playing... unless he's REALLY good.
