This Gorilla won't eat your camera

Finally, a tripod for your camera that isn't going to weigh you down, won't trip you or collapse or take out someone's eye AND will wrap around trees in the woods or a street sign, etc.! I just ordered one, this gadget WILL hold my SLR, and I can't wait to try it out. Course, it's on backorder til 1/1/07, but what the hey! I'm patient...kinda...

There's even another model for your point and shoot! It sticks to just about anything, and the good thing is, it completely stabilizes your camera! On a street corner with your friends and you want to take a picture of everyone? Stick it to the nearest building or pole or sign and voila! Makes me want to get a smaller camera...kinda!

Digital Prints Worth Paying For

I love to take pictures. I usually carry my digital camera in my purse with me at all times so I am ready to snap pictures at a moment's notice. Last year I decided to enter some of my pictures in the county fair. I did pretty good (got an honorable mention) but I was displeased with the service I used to print my pictures.

This year when fair time came around again- I used a difference service: Mpix.com and let me tell you what a difference! First of all, Mpix.com offers many different finishes and photo touches for your digital prints. They aren't over priced (about the same for the other service I used). Your order is shipped promptly and well packaged. The "other" service I used? Sent the photos in an envelope and by the time they had made the journey to my mailbox- they were fairly mangled. Mpix ships their photos in sturdy, strong boxes. They also offer neat products like pressbooks, statuettes and puzzles made out of your photos- all of which would make great gifts for family during the upcoming holiday season!!
