Last night, my beloved digital camera met its maker. I had just arrived at a Halloween soiree and was snapping photos with friends. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked the guy in the zebra print spandex to take my photo. Maybe I shouldn’t have been holding onto a very full beverage when I was handed back the camera. Lots of different scenarios have played out in my mind, but ultimately my digital camera looks like a goner.
The photo to the left was taken on my BlackBerry Bold (3.2 megapixels, baby!). And, yes, it’s a container filled with rice and my camera. According to my roommate, “soaking” a camera in a container filled with rice is a way to remove the moisture and may help bring your camera back to life. So far, I haven’t been able to resuscitate it using this method. But, I’m willing to keep it in there longer and see if it could help.
As a tribute to the good times we’ve had together, here are a few of my favorite photos from my Canon PowerShot A1100 during better times:
We dabbled in food photography, inspired by the delicious pizzas made by Gabi Logan of The 30 Minute Dinner Party.
We celebrated the holidays in style.
We successfully hosted a soiree in an apartment void of furniture.
We threw a bridal shower in a perfectly furnished house.
We watched our very best friend get married.
RIP Canon PowerShot A1100. It’s been fun!
