Dear fairy godmother

I know I have been going around a lot lately talking about how stuff is unimportant. And preaching how everyone should declutter. And watch Clean House and read the Unclutterer and Zen Habits. So in keeping with that theme, I will be glad to give up 10 items of my most cherished junk, or 1 cookbook, whichever is harder, if you will please just forward these two items to me posthaste:

• A kick-ass digital SLR
• A house with lighting that doesn't suck for taking pictures

Thanks so much!!!

Hugs and kisses,

Laura

Item #1 (with the proper lens) can easily take care of item #2. ;-)

I got the hugh-jass camera at Christmas last year but discovered that part of my problem was a deeply shaded house with gentle and flattering but functionally useless lighting. Had to go buy lights and a white diffuser thing. Possibly the right lens would take care of it, but to do that, I needed a stand to hold the camera steady while the aperture hangs open for about a second trying to hoover up what light there is. Get the big white light thing. G'wan.

Sigh, yes, same here [except for getting the hugh-jass camera part....]. Every photo taken in my house looks kind of yellow, or just dark. I try to think of it as the house washing the photos with its early-60s sensibility....the marks of time....but somehow, that's just not doing it for me. :)
