the mighty pacific
I was at the beach last weekend, on retreat with a ministry I am involved with.
It was a great time...except...
i slipped.
and fell.
off a stump.
onto the sand.
when a wave was coming in.
i got wet.
with my camera in my hand.
salt water + sand + digital camera = sucky
that great birthday present was ruined in a second. i loved having a digital camera. all 2 and a half months that i had it. gotta save some pennies to get a new one now. feel free to contribute to the cause :)

shawn... sorry, sorry, sorry to hear that. I'll keep my mind open for options.
we missed you! Hope the retreat was good... great to see you yesterday though. I'm still reeling from a wild communion service. hope it was a good time for you too.

shawn, Rich will forever look down on me because the same thing happened to me exactly. I dried off my camera and took it back to the store and said "my camera stopped working" they took it back and gave me a brand new one. Rich still makes fun of me about it but I am of the belief that a camera should withstand 30 seconds of salt water attack before being wrecked!

Oh that I could post the picture here. Maybe there should be an appearance of your camera's final moments at www.curve.org.uk/blog? A fitting tribute? Some prose perhaps?
Maybe I could contribute some af that nice rebate to the cause...
