New Camera, Bad Pics



Ed and I opened our Christmas presents a bit early. To be honest, they weren't even wrapped. But I wanted a smaller camera for my jewelry pictures and Ed wanted a new monitor. So we bought our presents and agreed to use them.

Unfortunately, as these cameras get smaller, the learning curve seems to get larger! I played for 3 days and still couldn't figure out what settings to use and how to save the ones I tried. So I ended up using my old camera, and will work on learning the new one.

I thought at first that this pin was made by Liz Claiborne, but the mark is a bit different from the LC marks I found online. So I guess this just gets to be call designer signed without a designer.

Signed on the back with the copyright symbol and the letters JJ. This is part of the Artifacts line and was made in the mid-1980's. The pin is 2.25 inches tall and 1.25 inches wide.
