Running With It!

My camera has been slowly and steadily going down hill as it struggles to focus anymore. So for the past few months (oh who am I kidding, it has been the better part of the past year) I have been searching for the perfect replacement (it was my Christmas gift). I know I what I want, and it doesn't exist in my price range yet. The camera needs to have very minimal shutter lag--so I was leaning toward a DSLR but held up by the size. I take a ton of pics, I try to take my camera everywhere--I love small and compact (who doesn't, less to lug around) so when I heard about the new four thirds system, I was excited. It is touted as having the quality of a DSLR in a smaller body with interchangeable lenses. What is not to love? So I bought it. I have to say, aesthetically, I was smitten with the vintage facade of a rangefinder and I really wanted to love this camera. Carl even embraced my enthusiasm and did a photo shoot that reminded me a bit of Zoolander filled with silliness. We had a great time. No doubt the camera captures amazing color compared with my point and shoot. In the end though, for the price I was disappointed with the auto focus lag when indoors so I returned it and still searching for my replacement camera. In the meantime, here are a few of the thousand pictures (not kidding) I shot this week.
