My digital camera is the same one I bought my senior year of high school. I hardly ever use it, because there’s rarely anything I want to photograph so it never occurred to me that it might not be of sufficient quality to record moments like The Apartment Ceiling Leak of 2008.

However, having looked at my photos of France on my computer, I have to say, something’s up. Either France was suffering a constant low-level earthquake the entire time we were there, or my camera’s a little behind the times.

This means that my nice photo post about France is reduced to a few workmanlike shots in which things are vaguely in focus. The rest of my pictures are just Blurs of the French Countryside, like so:

THRILL to the merest outline of some windowsills in Rouen!

GAZE at the vague interior of Saint-Catherine’s Church, Honfleur!

ENJOY what might be a fresco from the monastery at the top of Mont-Saint-Michel!

So, I’m putting together what I hope is a decent picspam. In the meantime, I’ll be buying a better camera and/or cutting down on the caffeine.
