Recipe for happiness (for me at least):
1. Little tiny camera
2. Big giant hard drive
I'm a happy camper because I have an old Canon Digital Elph and a new Lacie firewire drive, which can hold something like 71 thousand digital photos from the Elph. In my case, it'll be slightly fewer, since I also take little movies with my camera.
I'm hoping to submit some of these little movies to this extremely intriguing contest, but mainly I just shoot them for my own recollection.
I almost always have my camera with me. I think it's really your best bet for taking a good picture, if you got no real formal trainin', simply because of the laws of probability -- eventually, you're bound to get something worth showing people.
And my favorite thing to show people are the still images from the movies I take. I just uploaded a set of them, and I'll repeat what I say on the photo caption: I think that what these pictures lack in sharpness they more than make up for in spontanaeity.
I hope you like them too. (Click here)

I like action shots too! No pre-staged crappers that never turn out like you want them to.
and good photos too, by the way.
Thanks! Hey, I meant to clarify the title of this post, but forgot... it referst to the standard video format for most digital cameras - 30 frames per second - meaning that if you shoot thirty seconds of video it's really like you took 900 mini-pictures all strung together. Then when you go through them and narrow it down to your favorite, it's like panning for gold in your own backyard.
I enjoyed every single one of these. And what a better way to capture them! Amazing.
I like doing the same thing, but for audio clips. In Chicago, where the street musicians play in the summer...you can get some amazing little clips!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
