J and I disagree about many, many things, like whether college basketball is superior to pro ball (obviously) or whether ladle upon ladle of olive oil is really that good for you (I'm skeptical). But we agree on one very important thing: one needs good tools. About this, though, we have contrasting definitions of tools. J would call anything manufactured by Apple a tool that he needs and I would instead favor a good screwdriver or a perfectly weighted hammer. Fortunately, for my birthday we agreed that I needed a new tool for blogging and for life: a digital SLR. My Dad gave me an old Ricoh film SLR when I turned 12. I loved that camera and took thousands of rolls with it: grainy overexposed images and eerie underexposed landscapes. It still sits on the top shelf of my closet and one day I'll migrate back to film, but for now I needed something quick and capable. Something that would allow me to meditate for a moment on a bowl of clementines, even in the low light of my 550 square feet:
And while catching up with a cousin and friends on the phone, I gave her strap a little homespun twist, just so she won't get lost in a crowd (the seams are uneven, but I was in a mad dash and can be more precise next time around):
