Time to chime in...SWMBO, was upset...not as upset as Brian however! He realizes that we may never get Grandma into the garage again. He is the one kicking himself, and rightly so. As for the dog house...well, I'll bet he doesn't forget my camera next time!

Tamara...I can understand since I'm married to a Camera Queen myself. I tease her about it...but sometimes things come along and if you have a camera you can record it....if you dont'...

Sooo, what kind of a camera is she getting?

Such a simple solution for klik experts: either stand Grandma next to a half rounded blank in a staged photo next time she's around (Weston is turning in his grave now contemplating "the decisive moment") or ... better sit down for this one ... photomontage! You can do it! You could always say its a real situation spread over time zones. Not a complete fabrication.

I know this may be blasphemy to a professional photographer, but what about getting a nice little (cheap) point-and-shoot for the house. I got a Canon A590 around Thanksgiving, and I love it. I feel the photos that come from it are great, and the battery life is far, far better than my 10d. The best thing was it only cost me $110 with free shipping from Amazon. Just something to think about.
It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

Brian, sadly the camera at home was a point and shoot...it had the dead battery. And no it is not blasphemy for a pro to own one...we like time off too. However, I really want a nice camera(slr) at the house, I am tired of the point and shoot delay. You know what I am talking about, the delay that happens when you push the button until when it fires. Point and shoots are bad for taking a "coffee break" between those two actions. Besides, I am used to getting what I want immediately...including an image. Don't you just feel sorry for the LOML!
By the way, he made up for part of his mistake today...he bought me a Crown 3/8 detail gouge!!!! Maybe the camera can wait a day or two!

So I take it that your work cameras are dslr's. Nothing like instant gratification. Could you imagine shooting film - take the picture, and then several more to finish the roll, then go to the darkroom, develop the film, take it into another room and print it, then develop the print, and then go back and print it again to remove the color cast. That is like, so 15 years ago!
Oh don't be so nice, have him get it today.

I remember those days! I 'm not that young!Could you imagine shooting film - take the picture, and then several more to finish the roll, then go to the darkroom, develop the film, take it into another room and print it, then develop the print, and then go back and print it again to remove the color cast. That is like, so 15 years ago!I cut my teeth on film and the darkroom. Sometimes I miss the mystery of those days, but not enough to give up digital.

I too worked on film in my youth. B&W developing and printing in highschool, and color in college. Although I like digital, and have been digital since 2002, I still miss the "old" days. I really enjoyed the printing aspect of things.I remember those days! I 'm not that young!
