seeing with new eyes

My 4-plus year-old camera has just gone to the Great Scrapheap In The Sky, so it's time now to get a new one. According to the guy at the camera shop, it's a wonder it's lasted so long - most electronic products nowadays are made to last just 2 years. (Akan datang: rant on consumerism, and the commercial tactics manufacturers use to fuel it.)

New camera - and hopefully, a new sense of vision, a new way of seeing. Mine eyes have not been o' the best recently, to steal Lear's immortal words, and the demise of my old camera is a good reminder to take some time out to look at things afresh.

i might start by buying some flowers.
