Can it get any cuter than this??

I was walking up Hunter St. after picking-up my lunch earlier this afternoon when I noticed a man on the sidewalk taking pictures with what seemed to be a camera-phone. Disturbingly, it looked like mine, so I peeked at it as I walked past him and noticed that indeed it was the K800!

Damn!

Well, anyway, it was at this point that I noticed two other people taking pictures as well and when I looked over to see what they’re taking pictures of, I saw …

Waitin' for my dogs ...

I’m not sure why, but I turned on the BestPic feature of my K800 and I’m glad I did! The picture above is the first picture in the series of nine. If this feature really worked as advertised, that it takes four pictures prior and after the shutter button is pressed, then had I not turned on BestPic I wouldn’t have gotten the picture with the dog in the back seat looking at me.

The most surprising thing is that as I crossed the street to get a closer picture, the dog in the driver seat, as if sensing my intention, turned to face me and hung his fore-leg out the window. I kid you not! And yes, the dog in the back also turned toward me as well. Strangest thing. Well, in a good way. It was pretty cute and really made my day.

“Kodak moments” such as this really makes it hard for me to swallow the argument that camera-phones are gimmicks. In fact, the other people taking pictures aside from myself were all using camera-phones. Maybe one was using an actual camera, but my memory fails me. I do know for a fact that aside from the other K800 dude, there was another guy taking a picture with a camera-phone.
