Noticing

/316 - The Very Sunny Day

We got out and saw some family today after a very long time. It was good to catch up in person and Emi was really happy to play with her cousin again. Afterwards the 3 of us took a nice hike around Onanda Park with our cameras. Was surprised it was so quiet there today since the weather was so nice, but the quiet is always appreciated. I hope we get another handful of weekend days like today that we can all go adventuring together before we get into the real cold/snow. Emi and I noticed a few interesting sounds around there that she said we should come back to record so might have to do that together too.

/314 - Walkabout

It was a beautiful day so Emily and I went for a walk at a nearby nature park with our cameras. Since she got it yesterday she’s been carrying it everywhere, snapping away happily. Since Ash recently got some film back it lit a fire under me to finish a few rolls I have in cameras. She got me the Sprocket Rocket about 6 years ago and it’s got the same roll in it from then. Finished it! It’s not going to be cheap to develop (panoramic and sprocket holes) so I hope that something turns out. I really need to be less precious about the things I shoot on film so it doesn’t take so long to finish a roll. (only a few more shots left on that roll of ?? inside the OM-1n)

/306 - In It To Limit

I picked up this small old digital camera today as a gift for Emi’s birthday next week. She’s always very interested when Ash and I are shooting and wants to hold the cameras and take pictures of her own. We figured this would be a great thing for her to be able to carry around and play with. It’s funny because I’m pretty sure that I had this same camera back in the day. Anyway, I was checking it out and noticed that at full zoom it was pretty much worthless, but still like the images it took, so here they are. Adding a blur effect? Boring. Pushing an antiquated piece of technology outside its bounds? Wonderful.
