So, what does this have to do with Dave’s Diamonds? Well, it’s not every day that your grandson gets his picture up in Times Square on the large electronic display. My son Jason took the picture of Ethan playing in the park.
Evidently, this is a promotion by Sony for one of their new cameras – the Cyber-shot with Smile Shutter Technology. This thing actually detects when you smile and takes the shot! No more saying cheese, which is actually one of my pet gripes anyway. A whole generation of people who wait for that moment to force some weird expression on their faces! What will they think of next?
Anyway, anyone from around the world was allowed to send their image in, then they selected a few to show on the big screen every few hours. Kind of neat! If you’d like to see more about the camera, click here.
