Size Matters
I started dog-sitting Garbo & Ruby today for the next two weeks while their parents head back east. Amos came over tonight to show off his new toy and to try to convince me to upgrade to digital SLR like his. He’s really amazing. He just took up photography six months ago, and he’s already taken these shots and many more:
I’ve been taking pictures since before he was born and I’ve never gotten shots like these! Kids these days!We went out for sushi, and I got to play with his camera a bit. All I can say is WOW! The following photos were all taken with my little SD850. Amos will have to convert the RAW files we took with his camera and send them to me later. I must admit, getting a camera like that is tempting. Maybe I should sell my old EOS Elan IIE and AE1 Program? Then again, judging from my luck with cameras this past year, maybe not!
Amos showed up in his new car, rubbing in the fact I still don’t have mine!
Size queen?
We went to the Pacific Design Center to take some photos with Amos’ camera, and after a few shots, the security guards told us that we would need a license to take photos on the property! When I told them that I had taken many photos there over the years, they told us it was a new policy. I let them know how utterly ridiculous and greedy this was, and made sure that Garbo & Ruby were partially touching the grass for this shot. How annoying!

wow, that is what I call a camera. awesome!
yea…u really should study a business by doing this..haha
it’ll be named “dogie walkie”…haha
holy crap that’s a big camera. he’s got talent and a cool car!
Huh? Since when you need a permit or license for PDC? Maybe you should release G & R and let them poop all over that snobbish establishment!!
ryc: oh, would you introduce your guinea pig to mine (match making) in the near future? haha~~
i’ve been lusting after a SLR for quite a while now – my fuji is fine for casual snaps but i miss the abilities of my Nikon F2 when it comes to more dificult shots and sports shots – the fuji is like way too lethargic for sports – but, oh the prices! enjoy the hounds. peace, Al
Nice car, camera and lens – the second one looks like the 70 to 200mm F4 L.
You should check out his camera or the Rebel xsi.
I hope you didn’t want a photoblog of the penis, because that would be breaking patient confidentiality haha. I guess a lot of people are getting into photography now?
Wow awsome pictures.
yes i agree… size queen HAHA
amazing pictures.
your 2 new babies look like they’re enjoying their stay with you.
Amos seems like a fast learner. And the first picture looks fascinating.
yeah that lens will poke someone’s eye out, but it would still be nice to have one….
LOL, don’t be such a size queen.
@stevew918 - I know, right? I’ve got lens envy!
@ayu_motosan - OK Benson, but I’ll need an assistant!
@wherethefishlives - I’m not a car person, but that is a fun car to ride in!
@curry69curry - I like the way you think Gary. The more I think about that PDC rule, the more pissed off I get!! Grrrr

@kingofblur - You could definitely say he’s a fast learner! Thanks!
@davballguy - Really funny until someone loses an eye!
@CareyGLY - EW SO NOT! im scared of 7 and up HAHHA
Wow, amazing camera and photos! I think you should get a camera like that, regardless of your recent bad camera luck :)
Thank you for the photos of Garbo and Ruby! As usual, they look like they’re having a splendid time at Hotel Careyfornia!
That Pacific Design Center and their rules – they’re absolutely rediculous!
