Happiness is a creative outlet!

This blog is dedicated to all those who want to have success at a creative hobby.

For years, I have been trying to figure out how to do digital photography in an accessible way because I can't hold the camera.  Well, about a month ago my sister and brother-in-law, as a late birthday present, gave me a set up they got from the site:

They gave me the second one down, called the variable friction arm with super clamp.  The arm works really well, and I don't need any of the big switches added for myself camera but that is an option.

The only problem I have had is with the camera itself.  It is the adapted version of a Kodak EasyShare.  Well, it turns out that I don't need the adaptations, and that whatever they did to adapt it messes with the insides enough that it doesn't want to play with any memory stick, including the one supposedly made for the camera.  I have tried three.  This is not completely detrimental because the camera itself holds like 10 to 18 pictures on its own, depending on the resolution.  But it just a little annoying to have to keep getting help transferring pictures over.  On the other hand, it's better than not being able to take any at all.

Still, if you can manage the camera buttons on your own, I recommend just getting the arm and your own digital camera.  I am saving up to upgrade.  Just make sure the camera has the ability to clamp onto something.  Most of them do now.

Oh, and if you want to see the handful of pictures I have managed to take and transfer, (it's a little hard to always take pictures when attendants are always removing the camera arm from the chair) the gallery is here, and will be updated whenever I have new pictures to add so keep looking:

Oh, and as a side note, if you are trying to upload pictures to your own gallery page and are having issues, ditch Explorer and go with Firefox three.  I've been trying to upload to this gallery of a performance since January, and only just succeeded today.  It's my first drag performance in January, a few pictures worth looking at:

Anyway, good luck in all your endeavors!
