BY THE WAY, the pictures of campus that I’m posting were taken with this tiny Sony, which I believe is a slightly newer version of the one Ann Althouse uses. (Helen has taken over the Sony that I had been carrying, and I’m glad enough to find a digital camera that she likes to use that I’m not complaining.)

I like it pretty well — it’s tremendously small — but it does run against my philosophies of using AA batteries and having a real (optical) viewfinder. I had to squint a bit to make it out while shooting things like this bumblebee in bright sun.
