We need another camera

Taken by Nils

Earlier this year, Mike decided to buy a second camera. We'd bought a new Canon Ixus 95 IS after our "old" one broke around last Christmas, and it was such a lovely handy and actually working little thing that both of us tried to use it constantly but could never find it because the other one would be busy with it. So, Mike bought himself another one which he carries with him wherever he goes, problem solved.

Now, however, I'm spending a lot of time hunting down the camera again, because Nils is suddenly really into taking photos. I really like how deliberately he decides what to photograph (even if it means taking 20 photos of 'Nobody!' and cackling madly every time...) But ye, I guess another strong point of this particular camera has revealed itself: It's small and light, but sturdy enough to withstand handling by Nils. It also takes nice enough pictures in the 'Auto' setting (i.e. without any faffing), to make most of his pictures turn out ok.

Anyways. Whilst I spent the last week or so frantically trying to sort out stuff for that exhibition, Nils went round taking pictures of me looking disheveled.
