I have thousands of pictures of me standing in front of moments, landscapes, and buildings from my travels. Since I’m backpacking, I don’t have much of a selection of clothes. They look as if I’ve been standing in front of a blue screen changing the scenery on Photoshop. It get boring after awhile. What about the people you meet, the partying, and random encounters? These moments need to be captured.

Today’s guest post is by Emily Hutto. This is her experience of a day in Salvador, Brazil with her camera. It’s a reminder that there are times that we need to put down the camera and see the world through our own eyes. – Michael Tieso
After a month of World Cup 2010 mania, the winner is Spain; who beat The Netherlands after what seemed to be the longest game ever. With such a dynamic match up, its easy to understand why the game remained scoreless for 90 minutes. But, there is only one winner and the Spaniards are ecstatic after their first World Cup win.

When you are born and raised in a city like New York; its easy to forget what makes it glow. Hot summer days are upon us; bringing sweaty and uncomfortable subway rides, long lines at Jamba Juice (My favorites place to get a smoothie.) and watching sunsets at Hudson River Park. Its too bad the New York summer seems to fall short; truly beginning at this time and ending right on Labor Day the first week of September.

Experts fear an enviornmental diaster as the fishing and tourist industry have been hit. But, the biggest victims are the marine and wildlife.
Monday is here and it’s back to the daily grind. Luckily, here in the Northeast, US, we were blessed with sun-kissed days of warm weather. Memorial Day was the Unofficial start for Americans to begin the summer. And what better way than to spend it at the beach?
2010 is projected to be the year of strong hurricanes. Truth be told that this might live up to its expectation after the first storm of the hurricane season. Tropical Storm Agatha, the first of 2010 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season hit Sunday May 30th, 2010. 99 people were killed in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. At least more than 3,000 homes are damaged forcing 100,000 to evacuate.
Through extensive research, I’ve put together a list of what I think are the best budget Point and Shoot digital cameras for backpackers. A few things were kept in mind: price, weight, quality, resistance, and size. These five things are essential to all backpackers.
