Crappy D

We went out for the whole afternoon and evening. Another brief but theraputic trip to the beach, to happy hour at the Matador, to see the movie Ratatouille...all this and I forgot to put a memory card in my camera!

Thankfully, J brought his camera, which we affectionately call "Crappy D". It's a 2 mp, view-screen-less, camera he got for FREE many years ago. It is completely unpredictable and cannot be relied upon for anything other than humorously amusing crappy photos. It doesn't aim straight, it doesn't know how to "expose", and it's flash records as pure white and goes off all the time. It has about a 3 second delay and you can't see what you've shot until you get home. If you'd like to see what J shoots with Crappy D - check out his own blog.

It was quite liberating to be able to "shoot" without thinking about anything. Whatever you think about is irrelevant so you just have fun and hope for the best. But, I came home and was pleasantly surprised to find this photo - and several others I considered at least artsy! Way to go Crappy D!

Just goes to show, it's the photographer, not the equipment. :P
