Joyce’s Wish List

Joyce’s Wish List (not all practical, but isn’t that what “wish lists” are about?)

I prefer “homemade” with organic ingredients in lotions unless I have a certain one listed.
I prefer “spicy” to sweet scents 🙂
Prefer very little additives and processed stuff.

Photography

My main camera is a Sony an A6400.

Repair for Sony A6400 ($30 to send in for quote and then cost to fix.)
Once body is repaired
- Macro lens to fit Sony a6400. Would love to be able to take “life size” pictures. Preferably one that the lens does not move, but focuses inside the lens. 1:1 (Sony SEL30M35 30mm f/3.5 e-mount Macro Fixed Lens??)
- Wide angle lens like Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (Try B&H and Amazon for prices)
If too expensive to repair, not sure what I want. Looking at the OM camera or Cannon. Really don’t want a new camera, but I want one that works well! Don’t use as often as I did, but still enjoy taking pictures.
Camera vs phone? I don’t know, I like the feel of the camera and the ability to edit.

Ideas

Watercolor Set
- I like Grumbacher Watercolor Paper
- Good set of paints (12-24 colors is fine, nothing expensive, but nice colors)
- Brushes; Maybe something like this. (on sale when added)
