Yes it is my camera. I don't know what I did wrong (or right) but this is how it came out.

I want to put it in an Art Gallery or something!

Cool effect, sometimes the best pix are by accident!

What happened was you weren't using a flash, and the camera, in an effort to get the exposure right, slowed the "shutter" waaaaaaaay down (I really don't know the exact way the digitals work, but it's analogous to that anyway) so it was open longer. Unless you are ABSOLUTELY
still while taking a pic under those conditions, you'll blur the pic. I can sort of get a decent pic (well, one out of 5 tries anyway!) as low as 1/4 second shutter. A normal speed to "freeze" action, and what is usually used with the flash, is about 1/60. Quite a difference!

That's what I love about a digital camera is that you don't have to worry about wasting exposures and get instant feedback. I've taken tons more pictures with my digital camera than I ever did with the film one.

I just wish I knew how to use the stupid thing. Does all the pictures come out blurry with anyone else, or is it just me?


I swear, I feel like I'm on acid or something.

Sounds like you may be jerking when depressing the button. Concentrate on holding the camera still. I've had some total blurs doing the same thing. But then again, you may be able to have a career of doing surreal photos.
