"I Heart My New Nikon," by Sarah Lane
I've been loving my new Nikon 5400 digital beauty up and down the block in our first week together. Man, I don't know how I'll even get through all the features before I get to Europe! I'd go through all the features, but if you care enough to muddle through the specs I think they say it better than me. Now, I have issues with flashed pics. Yeah they keep everything crisp and clear, but they often sterilize the scene. The 5400 has about five million different flashless options for a clarity snubber like me. I think I'm in love!
Girl falls for DJ:
The Union closes in on the Confederates:
Foo Foo tears it up:
A lovely spot for a haircut and a Corona:
Warm hearts in a red room:
I have to start packing! I'll be en route in less than 24 hours! Good god!
Goodluck, have fun, come back safe! :)

Hey this is a nice site, it's the first "blog" I've ever visited. A friend told me about it when we were discussing Cat's, umm, exposure.
Good show today. Good to see a Mac download once in a while. Have fun in Europe. Be sure to take interesting pics.

First time to your blog. Kind of new to the whole thing. I'm a Multimedia student very close to graduation, so I'm highly interested. I'll be watching you blog reports more often. Have fun on your trip and come back in one piece. Oh yeah, keep Kev in line!

Man, you guys look liketwo charactors out of the freaking Lord of the Rings in that red pic. . .

Totally agree on the flash thing. I have a degree in Photography, which I mention only because I ran out of things to say and felt the need to inflate my ego. Seriously though, there are correct ways to use flash, and I am well aware of those techniques, but for the most part, I think you're usually better off without it. Then again, I'm also more for film than digital, so what do I know?
Posted by: nudebuddha | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 05:14 AM
I hope you have a fun, safe trip!!! Take lots of pics to share!
Posted by: emike2k3 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 05:45 AM
Love the camera! I'm jealous now...time to upgrade my old Nikon 995!
Have fun, don't get arrested!!

so.....how bout that pic of cat flashing, "Now, I have issues with flashed pics." boy your telling me, everyone who visits her site does
Posted by: RyanD | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 08:02 AM
You guys take care, look after one another, take tons of pics, and have a blast. I love you!
Posted by: mama | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 08:33 AM
Sarah, one tip: Go into your camera settings and turn on Best Shot Select. It's great for any pictures without the flash, and it really works! Enjoy your trip.
Posted by: Andy | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 10:24 AM
I love the pics. Sarah...I can't wait for more. I hope you enjoy your trip..and take alot of pics..cause you know we all want to see them...:)
See you when you come back on 8/11..i'll miss you...and I think everyone will...buh bye

Aww such a sweet picture of you and Kevin :D I really like the new camera too! A friend of mine got it and its really really nice! Have fun in Europe and we'll all miss you from TSS
Posted by: R3V | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 12:27 PM
Just be careful and don't put up any pics like cat did on her blog.
Er. Come to think of it. Please put pics like cat did on her blog.
Posted by: Adam | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 03:14 PM
why cant people be like the people on catschwartz.com.. rude and crude! much funnier than this boring BS.. such as: that last picture must be red because it's flashing a "NERD ALERT".. har har har

Hey Why your person/people have arrived Aaron is here to stir up the "shit" so to speak.
Posted by: Aaron | Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 05:57 PM
IMPORTANT: I heard you mention the Blarney Stone when talking about your trip on TSS today. Sarah, DO NOT kiss the Blarney Stone. Little Irish punks tend to sneak in during the middle of the night and take a piss on it. It could be an urban legend told to tourists, but better safe than sorry.

Who was the TTV host that posted pics???
Someone mail me! :-)
Guys, thanks for the great show! Lots of great tips. I charge the neighbours that have computer troubles! Great for buying my beer when out on the town on the weekends!
Cheers!
Have a good trip and watch out for Gypsies in caravans!

On your last day on TSS, you said you and Kevin were going to get married while in Europe. True? Or were you just kidding?
Posted by: sanderb | Saturday, July 26, 2003 at 01:57 PM
Sarah is expecting. Congrats. :)

Sarah Lane walks into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist if the store carries extra-large condoms.
“Yes we do,” he says. “Would you like to buy some?”
“No,” she replies. “But do you mind if I wait around until someone does?”
hehehehehe...
