Needs and Wants

I bought a memory card for my digital camera today. I hope I won't have to spend too much more on this camera (will probably need a lens adapter and filter but that's it I promise!).

I set out with the intention to buy just about the best available, either a 1 gigabyte microdrive or a 512 megabyte Compactflash card. Without going into much detail let's just say that both items cost in the $400 region. Desirable, for sure, and though I had the money or WILL have the money for it, I eventually settled for *just* a 256mb card at $150. For my current photo habits, it affords me at least a whole full day of careless clicking at full resolutions. I didn't really consider buying just one 256mb card, but the bank balance shoved its way into the forefront of my purchase decision and demanded some respect. And so I bought what I needed only. RAM prices drop all the time, and all that unused capacity is plainly going to waste if I can't use all of it.

Thanks to a link from Jasmine's friend, Reb Ling's blog, I've found Photosig.

Here is my first submission. Comments are welcome either by that little Shout Out clickable you see below, or sign up on that site and give me some thumbs up.
