My First Digital Camera

"What do you need all that for?"  I asked my friend about his new flip phone.  This thing could do everything.  He could download games, surf the internet, change ringtones, shoot videos, text and take pictures.  Clearly I had a severe case of phone envy.  I needed that phone and I needed it now.  I was the first one of my friends with a cell phone, but an unfortunate golf cart accident caused me to go without for quite some time.  I was at the Sprint store the very next day filling the void. 

This may have been my second phone, but it was my first digital camera.  Before the camera phone I remember wishing I had a camera all the time.  Concerts, games, parties, family gatherings, sunsets, and trips always left me longing for a camera.   If I thought about pictures ahead of time, I'd buy a disposable camera. Thing is, that rarely happened.  I'll never admit it, but according to my wife, I procrastinate and don't plan anything.  I plan on working on that when I get around to it.  I always had a camera with me now.  I took more pictures than calls with that phone.  Problem solved.  No planning needed.  Just reach in my pocket, flip it open and click!
