3 2 1 no camera now!!! :(

Yes, just like it sounds.

There were 3, then 2 then finally one, but now there are ZERO! grrr!

One was film, so that just had to be eliminated, specially since I had two other digital ones.

So now we are at....TWO. So I got my point and shoot and my D-SLR (both Canon).

I decided to take both of my cameras on my little vacation.

The trip is doing great and pics are rolling in. No issues and batteries and all just performing as needed.

So here goes the list of things starting to go sour for them.

While on the Maid of the Mist boat, I drop my D-SLR after thinking that it is on my neck strap around my neck. I just let it slide out of my hands thinking that it's safe. At the same time I feel no pressure on my neck and next it's a painful to watch collision course at full speed to the steel deck of the boat. OUCH!!!! All I can do is to scream and say...FUCK!  But it did survived the water from the falls and the actual fall from my hands. Along all this I changed lenses a few times and it was windy and I should have known better. After getting back to the hotel and  I start to get ready for the New York City leg of the trip and I noticed tons of specs on the test photos that I am taking before the next trip. I tried to clean it but I managed to make it worst and trust me that I did make it even worst after it was bad. Well at least that can go to the shop and get fixed for cheap. But I missed on tons of pics. I learned my lesson about switching lenses outdoors. Next time will be simple. Two Bodies, Two good lenses and I am done!

Then while in Boston and deciding to leave my D-SLR at the hotel room, since it is raining like crazy. I just take my P and S Canon and since it fits in my pocket, it is all heaven. Pics here, pics there and over there and on and on. So I am almost done with the city and on my way to the car, we stop at one last store. My friend goes in and I just stay outside and decide to seat on a bench and I did. Camera in the back pocket was not happy. DEAD! cracked screen. Totally useless now.

Well,

Now I have a great excuse for a new digi-cam.
