Portrait of a Photologger as a Young Camera ...

I finally did it. I am now a proud owner of a Cannon S400 Elph. It has been purchased to replace my poor old Nikon Coolpix that had its demise in the rivers of Kaua'i. Now I can get my amateur photo log/life back into order. To bring the camera within my happy abode, I took two pictures with it. Behold the awesome might of the Elph S400.

Here am I with a Spongebob won at the 2003 Punahou Carnival. It was just me trying out my new camera's selftimer mode. It's fun getting acquainted with the features on the camera. Hopefully I'll be able to take some interesting shots and be able to print them on my trusty HP Photosmart 1115. Now all I need to do is save up money for the Nikon 5700 so I can have 5.0 Megapixels and the ability to add on a flash. The S400 is great for taking on hikes, sticking in one's pocket to go to dinner, bowling, etc, but sucks when the lighting is too low. Learned that he hard way at our Senior Lua'u.
