Though a new camera is the last thing I can afford after my trip, I just replaced the one that I drowned in the Rio Claro on the Oso Peninsula in Costa Rica and the one that split in two when I threw it into the lancha at Lago de Atitlí¡n in Guatemala.
Would you like to see what I got? I broke with conventional wisdom (Nikon or Canon for a DSLR, and Lumix or Sony for point-and-shoot). Instead, on the advice of Wired Magazine, I got an Olympus (which was my dad’s favorite breed, and it’s water-resistant) and a Casio, of all things. Both of them were massively on sale.
This means you’ll start to see pictures here again soon, if anything interests me.
Was it totally stupid of me to buy two new cameras when I'm so totally strapped for money?

Cameras?? You should draw every thing with a dull number 2 pencil on yellowed newsprint you find in an old dumpster in Chinatown and keep everything to yourself so that no one will know anything about your life just like I do. Ha!! Glad you got a new camera. I actually took one of my Sonys apart and fixed it. Fascinating little buggers inside. Nylon gears with dogs the size of ant’s feet on the zoom lens transmission. Where do they machine this stuff? Mars? I wanted to take a picture close up of my grubby huge fingers pawing around in this delicate little thing but was to impatient to do it. Fixed it though. The problem was mechanical rather than electronic. Electronic? Bah. I’da shit-canned it. Them electron things is untrustworthy like peas under a shell. Lunch sometime, Wormlips? MB
Bul: I loved your post, particularly “nylon gears with cogs the size of ants’ feet…” (Actually, you wrote “dogs the size of ants’ feet, which I like even better, and it makes me want to draw it, except it’d be too little to see, which has its benefits because no one would be able to critique it.)
Yeah, let’s have lunch! Are you in the mood to try to help me put together a treadmill?
