I will always remain faithful to my Canon Digital Rebel and use that primarily for all my work, however, sometimes a girl doesn’t want to lug a big camera around or look like a tourist. So I had to go small and luckily Canon came to the rescue again.

Why I love this camera (besdies the 7.1megapixle factor!) is that the LCD screen is amazingly large – probably the largest of any small camera. It has terrific manual and automatic controls, it’s size enough so that you can hold it without camera shake but small enough to fit into your pocket. The zoom works wonderful, the response is fast and all in all it’s a great little camera to always have around.

It should be noted that I am generally not a romantic nor do I like soundtracks but there is an exception to every rule and this is it.

Featuring music from the 40’s, the songs go from swinging to simply charming (I defy you not to adore the Benny Goodman Always and Always). Why I love this CD so much is that it’s a perfect compliment to creating. The music keeps me going without overwhelming thoughts or ideas. It’s just a beautiful backdrop to any occassion. It might even make you swoon… just a little.
