New York Times: This Year in Photos - I always love these 'best of' photo sets. Always some beautiful photos. Although out of all the photos in these collections, nothing surprised me as much as Reuter's photo of George Bush. You can see genuine 'I really messed up' in his face. You almost have to hate him less.

I got a new digital camera today, the Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph (right). I bought it to replace my 3-year old Olympus 4MP Camedia C-4000 (left). The reason for buying this camera was different than the reasons for buying my old one. I bought my Olympus because of the image quality. At the time, it took top-of-the-line photos with great quality, especially in the dark... and the pictures are still great compared to cameras today. I bought the Canon because the Olympus was way too big to carry around in my pocket, and the startup time was 12 seconds... by the time it turned on, whatever I wanted to take a picture of was gone. The Canon starts up in less than a second.
