It was not the prettiest day to be taking pictures of the St Science Center and other treasures throughout Forest Park but I had THE camera along, the new Canon G-2, and I was itching to test it out. After taking it out of the box I had stayed home experimenting with it at Jack's Hangover Haven (my apartment) on a Saturday night no less. But could it really hang in there with film?
I'd miss the zoo this day but that will have to wait until next time. I did manage to get to the Missouri History Museum where I'd wind up purchasing a large and expensive book about the 1904 World's Fair. And end up testing the Canon G-2 out on its photographs, using the digital camera like a scanner to get the images for my World's Fair Section.
Taking pictures of pretty women would come later. I knew it would only be a matter of several days. For now, I'd be doing my own scientific research, once again revisiting one of my favorite places, taking pictures on a cloudy day, gleaning information wherever I could, to put it all together into a cohesive and hopefully useful web site to those interested in finding out more about the St Louis area.
