25 Years…

Posted at 7:55 am | Filed Under blog

I realized that my blog and this domain (kataan.org) are 25 years old today! I started a project to move the older items from a text archive (downloaded from blogger, remember them?) into my WordPress database. I hadn’t realized that with blogger, I used it like Twitter as a microblog – there are some […]

Another Nikon

Posted at 7:33 pm | Filed Under coolpix5400

I’ve had a string of good luck lately. Shopping at thrift stores can be a hit-or-miss proposition. My latest find is a Coolpix 5400, a logical progression from my Coolpix 995 and 4300.

My Powershot

Posted at 12:29 pm | Filed Under canon, digital

I’ve got a couple of these sturdy hand straps from https://gordyscamerastraps.com on a couple of my cameras and love the feel, the size, and being able to match strap and camera colors is pretty neat.
