"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him."

We can't stop thinking about this camera!

2011-07-13T08:26:00.000+01:00

We've been reading a lot about this recently and have got a little bit obsessed. It's really a gorgeous camera and the quality is excellent, but the only thing that is holding us back is the fact that it has a fixed lense. Is that a problem? We do like a little bit of a zoom, but on the other hand...
We'd love to know what you think.

2011-06-30T18:07:00.002+01:00

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."

Mary Jean Iron
