My camera, which I thought had taken its last picture after I dropped it on the floor last night, has come back to life. I popped the spare battery in and it started right up. Apparently the problem was the battery, not the camera itself.
That means there will be a Halloween photo album within the next day or two.
Also means that the bums on the street better watch out, because I’ll be out on bum patrol taking pictures to post to the panhandling website.
