OK.....I lied. I just thought we needed a little Grateful Dead on a Friday afternoon!

My camera is little, no bigger than a cigarette case. So I can hold it and click it with one hand. I have gotten very good at that. It is all auto..........so I do nothing that requires brain except the angle of shot.

I only need my flashlight to see the object of my desire for my viewfinder does not see in the dark. But if I shine some light on the object, my viewfinder picks up enough of the outline for me to line up the shot the way I want it.

I have found that it matters not at all if I have the flashlight on the object or have it turned away when I take the picture. I used to turn the light away to make the darkness in the background more dark, but I finally realized it has no affect on the outcome at all.

Gabby stays by my side purring! She is actually just happy being with me.
