I went and picked up my pictures from costco today. Sunday, Mauricio and I ended up riding around Pomona on bike, stopping to take some photos and look around. I wanted to try out the cameras that arrived. I remember now why I like digital photography, it is so cheap. But once I got these on the computer I think I could see a difference. They almost seem sharper. Since there is so much digital work these days I wonder if that sharpness is what makes them look old, because the color is pretty normal.
The better pictures came from the cuter camera. I am not sure if that is because I favored it, or if it really has a better lens. I really like it though. Even as just an object. The buttons are in all different places: you wind it on the bottom left and the shutter is next to the lens! Plus it is all rounded.
It is hard to be a beginner at something again, and to know I am probably cliche, akward etc. But at the same time it is very exciting. Almost all of my exposures were relatively correct (both cameras are meter-less rangefinders) which, despite there being few correctly exposed pictures I cared for, did give me something to be proud of.

I actually would like to photograph this again- I like the idea more than the picture. It is this row of shacks, and at the end this entirely free standing door in the place of a gate. It just looks so odd.
