all may not be lost

In case you missed it yesterday, my computer died. Iz ded. It's gone to the great Mac beyond. I fired up my even older iMac, from which I was able to post to (but not read) LJ, and look at my email, but that was about it. I was crushed.

Well, this morning I asked our Mac guru if there were any extra Macs laying around that I could take, and he thought he had an extra tower that they wanted to get rid of. I said that I'd also need a monitor, and he said that there were extra monitors around. So I may have a new(er) computer by the end of today, which would make me oh so very happy. Really, anything would be better than what I have. As I said, it's ancient in computer years, about 11 years old.

So cross your fingers for me!

I've taken this picture before. Granted, this one is much better than the other one that I took with my old camera, but it's nothing new. I've been finding myself in a bit of a rut lately, taking mostly the same old things, trying to get a better shot of the familiar and time-worn favorites.

My picture of the day set is starting to get boring. I need to shake things up, which is one of the reasons I started this project. It wasn't too hard in the winter to find new and different things, because I was searching for new and different things to photograph.

But now it's summer, and there are flowers everywhere, and of course I want to take a picture of each and every one, but I don't want my photo a day project to be three months of flowers in the middle. Ya know?

So I want you to give me an assignment. Think of something interesting that you haven't seen me post before. Something out of the box. I will do my best to fulfill your requests. Help me to stretch my photographic muscles! I'm thinking I might do a contest later, and you'll get to vote for the winner. And of course win a prize. :)
