My trusty old Nikon is refusing to focus properly these days, and I've also had a terrible time convincing it to download. Fortunately the universe (and a dear friend) smiled on me, and I was just offered a digital camera for free. I must say the timing is spectacular.
I still have to take some photos for work, which is why I must have a digital camera, but I also like them a lot. Every since the first point-and-shoot I bought fifteen years ago I've been able to record my textile art, the little backyard dramas at our home, and snaps of my daily life. Nothing important, but fun for me. I once even spent a year taking a picture every day so I improve my skill with the camera.
By contrast the camera on my smart phone is hard for me to use, focus and transfer all the pics I take. I have trouble with touch screens, and very little patience with the wretched thing anyway. I managed to go my entire adult like without a smart phone, and now I'm obliged to use one that was gifted to me because we got rid of our landline. Honestly, I really resent it, which of course factors in.
Now I must get on with my work for the day, and try to limp along with the phone and the failing Nikon until my new free camera arrives. I don't mind. I have the best of friends, too.
