Shutterbuggin'
I mentioned how my company's upgraded our BlackBerries to the 3G Bold from the EDGE-based 8830 World Edition...except me. I'm hoping my luck changes Monday, because I'm looking forward to having a digital camera to take pictures to post to Flickr again. It's been ages, I know - Halloween 2006 to be precise. Sorry.
Scratching this sudden shutterbug itch is circuitous karma for me, as my father was an amateur photog in the 80's. As a weekend hobby he built his own darkroom and taught me how to shoot and how to develop film. For whatever reason, he saw fit to have his clumsy kid handle gallons of acid in a pitch-black environment. (Remember, I'm the same idiot who deliberately poured an entire drum of our car's dirty motor oil all over our front lawn after Dad showed me how to change it because that's how I figured it was disposed of. Thank God the EPA wasn't on patrol that day.)
I fondly recall how much fun I had taking black-n-whites of the neighborhood gang skating, playing basketball, flying kites, fishing, playing in bands or just hanging out. It was a good summer. Eventually the other side of my brain became dominant and I migrated away from the visual arts, opting to indulge my budding analytical talents, choosing function over form.
And we all know where that led.
At any rate, (re)subscribe to my photostream's RSS feed and wait for some neato stuff to come across the pipe. It'll be fun for both of us!
