Casio Exilim 12.1MP Digital Camera

I’m In Love With The City

Mmm! Boy! What a lovely morning it is here in Belleandsebastianville! I can’t wait to get out there in the hazy broken-hearted sunshine and see what this glorious day has to offer me.

Hi, Piano! Are you up already? Looking for some excitement, aren’t’cha? Well, me too, pal, me too! Good thing I stashed this Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera in the front pocket of my designer overalls. It’ll come in handy if we see any broken tricycles sitting next to any brick walls. Because, after all, the Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera is perfect for capturing the sweet little moments that are just on the edge of art. With a nice wooden frame, a photo like that could really find a place in my vestibule. Say, Piano, do you have any plans for the day? No? Well, you want to tag along with me? You do? Oh, boy! I bet we’re going to have all kinds of crazy adventures! Come on, let’s get started!

Whoa! Oh, hello there, Horn Section! Didn’t see you guys standing there beside the garden fence. Say, that’s a lovely two bars and not a measure more that you just belted out! We sure weren’t expecting that surprise! Are you guys just visiting or are you here for the day? Back later? Why, sure, I’ll meet you at the pub! Say, before I go, can I get you all to pose for a picture so I can test out my Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera? Why, no, the delicate-yet-twee-seeming lo-fi mist all around us won’t affect me at all. You see, the Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera has a Landscape Mode which can enhance only the most important colors, making even misty scenes look clear and bright. Yeah, even you at the back, French Horn That Only Has A Small Solo, you’re gonna look just perfect! Say fromage! Hey, that’s great. Well, me and Piano gotta hit the road here. But don’t worry, we’ll be at the pub on time. Can’t wait to see you all again later!

Sure am glad we ran into those guys. But now I’m not sure where to go! Hey, Piano, what do you think? Should we head down Light Snare Drum Alley? Or maybe take Overdubbed Three Girl Chorus Way? Whoa, who’s that? Clarinet? Wow, I didn’t expect you to show up out of nowhere like that! That’s crazy! How’s it going, man? Yeah? Hey, did you know I just got a Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera? Check this out, there’s a Dynamic Photo Animated e-Greeting option that lets me take pictures like I’m using a green screen. I know, right? Now I can add backgrounds to view on my monitor or on the camera itself. It’s a neat way to make a quality Motion JPEG. Well, sure, it’s a strange little feature, but I’m all about taking the road less travelled. Right, Piano? There’s something beautiful about capturing the sweet, untapped moments that others just don’t bother to see. That’s one of my favorite things about owning a Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera, you see. When I find one, I can just rush up and take a picture in Easy Mode and not even have to worry about setting up the shot. Oh, wow, is that the time? Piano, if we’re gonna meet those guys on time, we’d better get going. See you later, Clarinet! Sorry you didn’t get more playing time!

C’mon, Piano, we gotta get to the pub! Oh, no! Someone decided to conclude by putting all these exotic concepts in our way! Excuse us, Bossa Nova Steel Guitar! Pardon us, Small Rhythmic Xylophone! Please, Eight Bars Of String Section And A Marimba, let us pass! We’ve got a schedule to keep! Oh, look, Piano, there they are. Horns! Horns! Hey, Horns! It’s us!

Phew, glad we caught up to you before everything faded out. It would have been a tragedy if me and Piano didn’t get to… oh! Is that an old rusty tricycle next to the brick wall!? Oh, it is! It is! Thank goodness I brought my Casio EX-Z90 12.1MP Digital Camera with me today. See, Piano? Didn’t I tell you that today was going to be wonderful?
