Oh Luna. Thank you for making my day a little more awesome.

That's my baby camerakins. He's been with me for four years now. That's not his actual picture... It's his twin. But you get the idea.

I thought of a few things when I thought about my prized item, but I finally settled on my camera because of all the moments it's captured and saved for me. I love pictures. It visual journaling, and although I've been slacking on the journal thing, I want to be better at it because I believe there's great value to it.

I'm one of those family history people. I'm not as intense as some, but I've collected what I can from family members and others through the wonderful use of online resources, including a bunch of pictures. I love those rare moments when I finally get a picture and can see what my ancestors looked like. I particularly love it when I have those pieces when it comes to someone close to me (direct line or parents or siblings of those I've known. Things like that.)

So I love my camera because it allows me to always have a physical image of those I've known through life and have had an influence on me. I love it because it allows me a sense of coming closer to those who've come before who have influenced me by influencing those that lead to me.

Hope that all makes sense :)

Thanks Fujifilm FinePix F31fd. You're a pal.
