Welcome back to the digital age

It’s been almost a year now (maybe longer) since my Minolta gave up the ghost and because of it I’ve missed many a photo op. No longer! Please give a warm interweb welcome to my brand spankin’ new Canon PowerShot A520 digital camera. Yes, this means that FirstStep has officially gone multimedia.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still spend the words if you want. So knowing me I’ll probably blow more pixels than ever babbling away about whatever images to which I deem my audience fit to be subjected.

To inaugurate the new camera I’ve taken a half dozen pictures of my cat like any self-respecting pet owner. Here’s a lovely little image of Moira. She looks deceptively peaceful, doesn’t she? Not at all the yowling complaining creature many of you have heard over the phone.

And fret not, those of you who are eagerly awaiting pics of my new apartment. They’re forthcoming. Once I can get the place cleaned up again, that is. I’d hate to immortalize my dirty dishes.
