Oh boy. I am lagging a bit on the blogging and am super behind on posting my L.A.A.W. post for last week. Bad Jesse. I’ll not run on with excuses, but rest assured I have some.
So this weeks photo from the archives is once again a bit of a series, but it has to be. See, these photos were taken by my very first digital camera. Some version of a 2004-ish Canon point and shoot. It went through a lot: a break-up (mine), a fashplant into the cement (the camera, not me), a plane ride, and a few months of my life in Japan. And then one day, in the Spring, it died. It’s last photos though were of hanami (cherry blossoms) in Japan. The blooming of the cherry blossoms is a BIG deal in Japan and I was out with my Japanese friend, Yoshimi, happily snapping away when things started to shift and eventually, I knew, my camera’s days were over. Sad, yes. But I have found a ways to move on, mostly through retail therapy, specially new cameras -four since this lil guy.
So I dedicate this post to all those dead camera’s out there. I hope that they brought your joy and that their last few days were filled with images of pretty flowers and puppies.
I did adjust some levels in this photo, but the color is how it came out of the camera and was the first indicator that things were off. Now I kind of like it.
