Go Ask Alice

Earlier this month my computer decided to stop working. In my world, this is unacceptable. Fortunately, I have a private computer wizard at my disposal (my son-in-law) and he was going to build me a new one. So off we went on a trip to Fry's Electronics in Woodland Hills - he and my daughter shopped while I strolled around.

I guess all the Fry's have a theme and this particular store is all about Alice in Wonderland. I walked around and took pictures while I caught up with an old friend on the phone. I had a marvelous time. Since then, I have been to the Fry's in Oxnard. It's got a train theme, but it's just pictures on the wall. Bo-ring!!!

They went all the way on this store! Let's see how much I know about Alice characters.

Um...Alice!

The Mad Hatter (needs a little lip ointment)

Some King

The Smoking Caterpillar

The White Rabbit

He's Late for a Very Important Date

Okay, this is where it gets a little fuzzy.

Judge Frog/Toad?

Captain Fish?

Curiouser and Curiouser

A Crying Turtle Goat? 

Oh, here's one I know.

The Walrus!!!

Where's the Carpenter?

This looks more like some kind of Delivery Man???

 And who can forget...

The Cheshire Cat

The Jabberwocky?

The Twins...

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

No Idea...Ugly Lady with a Withered Hand?

Off with her head!!!!

Queen of Hearts

Humpty Dumpty

The Royal Procession

They are Painting the Roses Red

And now I have a fabulous computer to document my adventure down the rabbit hole.

Used to hate it, til I ate it

Change can be good.

I was one of those people who clung to my film camera for dear life as the rest of humanity marched on around me. I refused to jump on the Progress Bandwagon. I scoffed at those who told me to get with the program and enter the new age of digital photography....GASP!!!!

Most of these people were just casual picture takers, not passionate photographers. What did THEY know! I tend to be a "make it from scratch" kind of person and I felt like it was a sell out to just snap a quick digital picture without a care in the world. At the start, all I saw was the screen on the back of those little babies and thought, "Where's the fun in that?".... I need a viewfinder that sees the hairs on the back legs of a fly!!!!

Well, apparently, everyone was right and I was...WRONG.  There, I said it - Happy???

I now enjoy clicking away at every little thing that the eye can see. The only care I have is how much space I have left on my C-Drive to hold it all.

I still own my Pentax film camera, but I doubt I will ever use it again...too expensive. Which I find quite sad.  Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well. (wiping a tear from my eye)
