    The Look

    Some subjects do not want their photo taken of them. In the image above my sisters cat Willow, is giving me that annoyed look as I take practice shots of her. This has come about with the purchase of the Canon Powershot G12. Yes, a point and shoot. I have been looking at buying one for quite some time and finally weakened enough to lay out the cash for it. I’ve never owned a point and shoot but so many of you seem to like the options they offer. I plan on using it while I fly, making it so much easier to pack and carry than my DSLR is. I chose the G12 since they no longer have the S90 in production and the S95 and G12 were almost the same price. I also could not afford the M8. 🙂

    Why do we do this?

    “Perhaps the most crucial aspect of Christian obedience to God today concerns the responsibility of the Christian, in a technological society, toward creation and God’s creation and God’s will for creation. Obedience to God’s will for nature and for man – respect for nature and love for man –  in the awareness of our power to frustrate God’s designs for nature and for man – to radically corrupt and destroy natural goods by misuse and blind exploitation, especially by criminal waste.”
