Apparently my little Olympus is a fan of Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive because that's just what happened. I dried out the camera for a few days, recharged the battery and now she (yes, after being christened in the Spree river, I am giving my camera a gender...) seems to be working just fine. Of course, I am well prepared that she may explode in a few weeks or something. Time will tell....If she does, I will probably buy a canon camera body so that I can use all of my husband's fancy lenses. Unfortunately we didn't really think about this before I bought the Olympus. He is a more "serious" photographer than I am and has bought (and plans to buy more) fancy equipment.Below is the picture I was trying to take when I took the plunge. The blurry photograph must have been snapped just as I was falling. The ironic thing is that the photograph isn't any good: Not really all that interesting and far too much back light. If it weren't for the accident, I would have killed it with the erase button. Thanks to my fall, the image lives on....
