Perhaps this is indicative of the difference between the two of us. My family and I were at the VIP Preview for the Orange County Fair last night and we ran into Weird Al Yankovic.

What was really neat about this event is the ribbing my daughters gave my son and me... Like father, like son. Both of us like Weird Al's music... often better than the original artist's rendition!

Now the two of us have another something together we can fall back on when growing up gets rough.

Too bad he forgot his camera at home. He has now applied his Corollary to his Camera Axiom: Your wife’s lousy cell phone is a darn fine camera 
when you forgot your real camera at home and you unexpectedly run into Weird Al Yankovic at the VIP Preview at the
Orange County Fair.

I just completed a picture book for a couple who traveled to Europe last year and wanted a coffee-table book to record their trip. Every time I show this book to someone I get the same reaction, "WOW! Those were taken with just a one-touch digital camera?"

The answer is yes. Surprising to many people, photos taken with even an average one-touch camera can produce some very nice printed photo albums. A SLR camera may produce an overall higher quality image than an "one-touch."A SLR may also be needed to produce larger-sized books with the necessary resolution. However, most people only need, and are happy with, a less-expensive and lighter-weight camera. These camera can produce some very nice results, as I have seen with this book.

2½ Weeks tells a memorable story through pictures of one couples travels through Europe, ending with a wedding. The pictures were all taken with a Panasonic DMC-TZ4 point-and-click digital camera.
