You Capture - Technology

I love flexing my creativity muscle and these photography challenges definitely do that for me. This week's You Capture challenge was technology. At first I thought - what in the heck can I do to make that look interesting but I thought really hard and came up with a couple of ideas. I'm eager to see what the rest of the group came up with but this was as creative as I could get this week. Each week I always see at least one or two pictures that I want to try myself which is always a good thing.

When I hear the word technology, I am instantly grateful for my iPhone, blackberry, and laptop - what did we ever do before these were available? It wasn't all that long ago but I'm not sure how I would function. I am someone who needs to stay very connected and having information at my fingertips is something I love. Have you heard about families that give up technology for a week or even 6 months? My husband and I would NEVER survive. Besides, how would I blog and share my photography with the world? Not a challenge I am willing to take on.

 Next up is my camera collection of course! Well actually I as cleaning some drawers out this past week and found some cameras that I didn't know I still had. The closest one is my Lumix point and shoot that stays in my purse at all times, followed by the first digital camera we bought in 2002 with a whooping 3.2megapixels, then 3rd in the row is my film camera from college, and last but not least my Canon Rebel DSLR that I bought about 5 years ago. I've recently moved from the Rebel to the Canon 40D so if anyone is looking to buy a new camera let me know - I'm looking to sell the Canon Rebel along with 3 lens. It was fun to look at my old cameras to see how the technology has grown.

Next I decided to capture the inside of my husband's car. His car seems to have all the fun stuff but my favorite feature is the screen that shows the radio stations, etc. Does anyone love XM or Sirius Radio as much as I do? What a great invention!

 Last but not least, as much as I love technology, I HATE all of the wires, chargers, and cords that come along with it. We have a box in our office full of all of them and I had to label the cords to be able to locate the right cord as quickly as possible. I thought I would take the chaos and try to capture them in a fun picture.
