Wire Fox and Poodle

So as if I didn’t already have enough financial obligations and expenses, lately I’ve been toying with the idea of purchasing a new camera. You see, my current digital camera is at least 5 years old and, frankly, wasn’t that good to begin with. In the five years since I’ve owned the camera, it has been surpassed by much less bulky and more powerful cameras. But, to be perfectly honest, I don’t even want a camera with a lot of bells and whistles. I just want a digital camera that I know will take GREAT pictures with little hassle, something my current camera has never been able to do.

I started thinking about getting a digital camera because I would really like to take nice pictures of my wire fox terrier Lola. The picture that’s on our blog banner now is cute, but I can’t help but feel that it doesn’t really capture her. In short, it looks like a digital photo taken by a mediocre camera. I’d really like to be able to take low light pics in a more natural setting or action shots outdoors. I’d just like more options.

Also, I was thinking that I do a rather poor job of documenting our lives. Although I have a handful of pics of Lola from our last four years together, I could do a lot better job of keeping track of Lola’s life–something that I will inevitably be grateful for down the road. And, since we are expecting a new standard poodle in the future, there’s even more incentive for taking lots of great pictures of my little ones. I think Lola and the new pup will take splendid pictures together!

I think I’ll wait at least a couple of months before making my final decision. But, I can say that the point will surely come when the camera I have now will no longer be of service.
