Photos

In September of 2001 I bought myself a digital camera, a Canon ELPH S110. Ostensibly with my "tax refund" cheque. It's a neat little techno-toy, a little like my Palmy. The plan is to try to update this page with photos from events in my life.
In 2002 I took my S110 to a beach party and apparently got some sand in it -- it died. Now I have a S200.

The Oakland Paramount

We went late in the evening and I didn't get a chance to see a lot, so I went back that weekend.
