self with *new* camera

self portrait with camera, by lucamar (Luis)

This last years the new year has come marked by the little money I get from “year closing” tasks and the little (or big, depending of the p.o.v.) things I can do with it. This year, though, began really on Three Kings Eve, when my “flickr” friend Gini told me on a chat that she would send me her old camera, to help me enter the digital era.

Gini sent that camera, a Nikon Coolpix 800, to me on Jan. 14th and it arrived, happily, the 22nd. The CP 800 is a little digital point&shoot , 2Mp, 2x zoom (roughly equivalent to a 28-70mm), almost without floritures or manual controls and a battery gluton, to boot. I love it already, none the less; it might be termed my key to digital photography and in that respect is the equivalent to the 35mm. compacts I owned throughtout my apprenticeship, back in the 80s.

There are lots of things I could say about this little wonder andabout the soul inside the person who gave it to me but since an image is worth a thousand words, I’ll let the image speak for myself

My medlar

Original by lucamar on Flickr

My medlar a little time before she gave fruit again, after years of peaceful retirement watching the birds fly by.

This little tree (who has been with me since I was 14) passed a bad time during the reform of the flatroof and lost all leaves. It has been hard to tend her but thank god, she is now recovering and throwing out new growings.

She's one of those few Wild Voices I hear high and clear in my heart.

First entry

Nothing very interesting yet. I'll be working on this, sooner or later.

Don't ask me why. I don't know. I do this things without thinking :-)
