I take snapshots with a Canon Powershot SD700 Digital Elph, and Panasonic Lumix (Leica 2.0 lens) in and around the city of Kyoto, Japan--and elsewhere when I travel. I picked up a Canon DLSR a while back (Rebel XTi) & am starting to work with that on occasion.

“That there is much suffering in the world no one disputes. Some have explained this in reference to Man, by imagining that it serves for his moral improvement. But the number of men in the world is as nothing compared with that of all other sentient beings, and these often suffer greatly without any moral improvement.” –Charles Darwin (the Autobiography)
