The Sewing Mom

How many of you are either giving or receiving a new digital camera for Christmas? I put one on my wish list, although I think it’s unlikely that it will be under our tree. I’m sure my husband can’t for the life of him figure out why I want a new camera when the one he gave me is probably less than 2 years old. I just wanted the new one for its features, perhaps some better photographs to put in our scrapbooks.

My first really nice digital camera operated the same way as my Canon Rebel 35 mm and was so easy to use. I was able to get some amazing pictures with it. One day though, the camera froze up. It just wouldn’t work. My husband, thinking as a non-photographer would, bought me a simple Sony digital camera. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this camera, it takes great every day shots. It just doesn’t have the features I would like for some of the outdoor and landscape photography I enjoy doing.

If my original digital were still working I know that I’d be entering the PhotographyCorner.com [tag]2007 Photograph of the Year[/tag] [tag]contest[/tag] that started on December 18 and runs through January 15, 2008. They have over $20,000 in prizes!

Anyone can enter this contest and once a photograph is submitted, the community of [tag]Photographycorner.com[/tag] votes on it. The winning photograph will be announced on January 30, 2008 and prizes will be awarded for 12st-10th place finishers.

I’m really hoping that my new camera will be under the tree…
