Small Details

I am a writer and a photographer – not necessarily in that order.

While volunteering me to lead his relatives on this trip, Dan also assigned me to take lots of photos of houses: rooftops, foundations, walls, floors, windows, fireplaces, trimming details and more.

"How am I going to cover all that with my little camera?" I asked.

In response, he bought me a 2 gigabyte memory stick. (My 1 gig memory stick holds 700+ photos.)

I have two rechargeable batteries with which I alternate use. Each takes up to four hours to recharge and gives about two continuous hours of shooting time.

"I'll need to re-charge my batteries daily for that," I said. "Norway uses two round prongs in their electrical outlets."

Dan got the message and supplied me with a properly equipped converter – half the size of the one I used as an exchange student 25 years ago.
