Say Cheese!

So here is the thing...

I love photography.

I'm not fantastically amazing at it, but I enjoy practicing and sometimes coming out with a good shot. Take a look at my deviantart if you're interested, I haven't updated in a super long time, and I like to think I've gotten better in the last year or so, but there it is just to give you an idea.

Three years ago my amazing parents bought me a beautiful Canon XT SLR. I love it, and would never ever trade it for a point and shoot camera, but it is huge.

Therefore, I am unable to document many of the smaller things I do in pictures. Before I had a blog it wasn't really a problem. Now, however, that I love sharing my experiences in New York with all of you, I find the fact that my only camera is giant a problem.

For instance, I'm going to be posting about the many Circle K in-service projects I've been doing, or my night out at Fat Cats. I will have to rely on the pictures other people have posted on facebook for these posts, or I won't be able to share pictures with you at all. And let's face it, reading about something is not nearly as fun as seeing it.

So... here is my question for you.

Should I buy a small $200 point and shoot camera? It is about a week and a half worth of pay, but my paycheck goes to a lot of different things (groceries, eating out, clothes, necessities, going to the city, shows, movies, etc. etc.)
