not fubar!!!

Ok, so last week at Boiler Bay I dropped my camera into a tidepool. A few days later I put the battery back in and tried to turn it on only to have the screen flash crazy at me and then shut off completely. So since then I've considered my camera to be a total loss. Except for today I put the battery back in and it worked! I was so excited. The viewing screen is a little bit off now (and by off I mean totally crazy) but it still transfers photos just fine which is all right with me.

So, in celebration here are some photos from our field trip last to Boiler Bay, right before I dropped my camera. :-)

This may sound crazy, but you might want to dunk your camera again... only this time in non-salt water. Otherwise, the salt water that is in/on it will eventually corrode things. At least wipe down the accessible parts with a damp cloth a few times. Then let it dry out well before using. And hope for the long term best!

Parting Words Of Wisdom

"The fear of rejection really kind of stunts your growth as a person. I mean, it's like a friend of mine says, who cares if you fail? Who cares if you fail? It's like babies try to get up and walk all the time and they keep falling down. If we just gave up, we'd all be crawling around." — John Rzeznik
