First Digital Camera

I was working at the dreaded day job, Monday through Friday, which gave me weekends off.  I spent my time writing, producing, directing and being a gopher for a cable access TV show, “The Travel Junkie”.  That’s when my Mom suddenly passed away.

I wasn’t dealing with her death well, so friends suggested that I write about it.  Knowing how to write TV scripts, I created a screenplay.  Friends encouraged me, telling me that I should submit it to a contest.  Fine.  They made me.  So I did.

A judge of the contest, who was also a producer, called me.  Apparently, I had talent.  He suggested that I move to Hollywood.
​
I bought my first digital camera before I left to capture my new adventure.  It was a simple snap and shoot; Kodak Easyshare Z740.  Of course I didn’t read the manual, and just started clicking away.

Which leads me to the first lesson:  READ YOUR MANUAL.  Always!
