Kodak Easyshare 16MP Camera
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
I’m not really a social guy. In fact, the only people I’m brave enough to talk to are the people who can’t hear me because they’re too far away. And I like it like that, because then I get to imagine their half of the conversation and speak it aloud in what I suspect their voice sounds like.
Still, it can be really limiting. In fact, before I got this Kodak Easyshare 16MP Camera, the only people I could have imaginary conversations with were the people I saw from my second story balcony on the street.
Now that I got a 26x zoom, though, the sky is the limit! I just choose one of the many high rise condo buildings around here and zoom in until I find someone standing in front of their window or out on their deck, and then we have a little chat.
Why, just this morning I had pleasant “conversations” with Ricardo, the Spanish inventor/spy, Blanche, the Australian model and professional dirt biker – she finds my face rash endearing, by the way – and Walter, a famous actresses bodyguard – we just met this morning while he was out sunbathing by his building’s pool.
That’s right! Three conversations! In ONE morning! Unheard of!
And the best part – if I’m having a particularly good talk that I want to remember, I can just take a clear 16 megapixel picture or, better yet, shoot some HD video! Actually, I think I’ll watch one right now. Maybe the one I had with Blanche just after she’d just gotten out of the shower, when we talked about funny things my cats have done. That’s my favorite one.
