Digital Camera Scam
I went to Seattle for work and visited my brother Joe while I was there. You will be shocked to know that it rained while I was there.
It had been a while since we had seen each other, so it was great to hang out, but it was also a little upsetting to discover he had been ripped off. If you look at this picture you can clearly see that Joe thought he bought a digital camera but was in fact sold a medium-sized toaster.
It takes pretty good photos for a toaster but I still hope they catch the guy that sold it to him before he tricks someone else.

If that’s a toaster, then what is my floppy mavica? A Toaster-Oven? I honestly believe that some of my neck problems I now experience in my adult life came from carrying around a K-1000 for photography class on a neck-strap.

I’ve come full circle on this one. I had a Canon G2 for school, switched to a little Kyocera, and I’m now back with the new model of a Canon G2. Seems silly that it’s bigger than my digital camcorder, but 10x optical zoom and the fact that I can actually take more than 3 photos before my battery dies— it’s worth the neck problems :)

I always wondered why my photos tasted so good with plum jelly.

Plum jelly?
I’m sorry to digress from the current subject matter…but plum jelly?
Is this the secret to artistic greatness? There is always something different about the artistic mind…something familiar, but just different enough to make you turn your head. Could it be that Joe’s art is fueled by plum jelly?
The rest of us see apricot, raspberry, and grape. Joe sees plum…genius!

Hey, I live in downtown Seattle and I didn’t see any of your pieces around. I would have loved it if I had. And so would my husband!
