CRASH!! *Updated*

That's the sound my camera made as it fell from my fingers and landed on my kitchen floor.....
.
Well, maybe it wasn't CRASH as much as "thump". I was trying to do too many things at once... entertain children, make their lunch, whip up a batch of brownies for Jon's band (story later), and take pictures for the blog at the same time. Multi-task much?
.
I forgot to put the wrist strap on as I usually do and the camera fell while I was trying to snap a picture of melted butter. The lens won't retract since it's bent and the camera won't turn on for more then a split second.
.
It's just a simple "point & shoot".. nothing fancy... but it may as well have been my left arm falling off. I feel lost without it and it's only been dead for 30 minutes. I take pictures of everything. I have so many pictures on our computer that we had to get an external hard drive just to have enough space for them.
.
I'm not sure what I'll do about a camera right now. I'm sure we'll figure out something until then I'll just sigh heavily and look dejected.
Good thing I don't have a camera to take a picture of myself right now, right??


**Update: My mom is amazing. She's decided to buy me my birthday/Christmas present early and get me a gently used camera from ebay! I'm so lucky to have a mom that is so supportive of me. She knows how much photography means to me. The camera should be here in a few days!! THANK YOU MOM!!!!**

Nooooooo! That really stinks. Hey, we can check for camera sales on Black Friday if you want! If you buy it in DE it's tax free.

You and I are SORT of in the same boat. Our very cute new puppy chewed through my camera charger cord, so I am without a camera until my new cord gets here. Aack! :) Lynn (amothersjournal)

Becky you have a gift with photography and it truly is your voice! It is my pleasure and my priviledge to support your art. We all benefit from your images of life and love. Plus, where would I be without my three great kids? You are all the loves of my life! First, last, and always, your Momma

Oh no, Lynn! Not that sweet little puppy! ;) Isn't it terrible not having a camera??

Thanks Momma! I'm a lucky girl :)

Oh no!

So nice of your mom to lend you hers.

The pictures from your Sunday trip are beautiful.
