Purchasing a Canon IXUS i in Cambridge for blogging

I bought this sublime little camera in 2004 when I started this blog and thought it would be nice to add images of our daily lives in Cambridge. It was my second digital camera. It was a tiny camera with no optical zoom but that limitation gave rise to wonderful creativity. I fell in love with photography in 2004 and 2005 and have been hooked ever since.
