Well, today is my birthday........and guess what I got. A new camera!!!
It was totally unexpected, too. I got an Olympus C-8080!!, as opposed to my previous Olympus C-4040. In laymen's terms, this new camera has 8 MEGAPIXELS!!!!! 8!
So now, we will all engage in a solumn ceremony, recognizing the outstanding acheivements of my C-4040.
Over the past two years, I took nearly 4,000 photos with that camera alone. We went a lot of places, saw lots of great urban scenes, laughed, and cried. But now it's time to say goodbye, as I pass it on to my dad, who will use the camera at his veterinary office...a major upgrade from his current 6 year old Sony Mavica.
Would anyone else like to say a few words before we say our final goodbyes?

Thanks a lot, guys!
I know that Omaha representation of SSP has been a little scarce lately. I've just been like 10 times busier this summer than I've ever been, which makes it hard to get out and take leisurely photo strolls. Also, I'm leaving the city tomorrow to go to New Mexico for a family reunion, so you guys will all have to wait at least a week, until I get back, to see the next great Omaha photo thread. But I promise you it will be soon.
Also, sometime before the summer's over, I'm going to try to get up in a plane to take some custom aerials of downtown. That should be amazing, and we could hopefully all look for some new postcards out of it as well.
Thanks again, guys.
