Picture taking

My first camera I ever received was a Christmas present from my Uncle Marsh. I thought that was a most amazing gift! It had a sweet lens, which someone else also admired and stole off of my camera while on the boat ride to Nantucket. 😛 But it was a good film camera that I had for many years.

Then the Poloroid was all the rage and I loved using that camera! Instant photos? Yes!

Eventually I got more compact point and shoot cameras that I could easily bring to camp and every day life. I took a lot of pictures and kept active photo albums archiving every day life.

Then a funny thing happened when I acquired my first “very nice camera”. I happened to find it at the dump even! It was so fancy and big that…I just didn’t really bring it and take any pictures! And then cell phones with camera capability became the thing. But something about the feel of a phone taking a picture never appealed. And so I took less and less photos.

But now I was gifted by my hubby a Camp Snap camera and it feels like an ol’ disposable camera, lightweight with one simple button.

I feel 16 again bringing my camera with me and snapping pictures of life. 😀 Here’s a pretty average day consisting of family life, music, games with friends and chickens, fishing, and women’s bible study. 🙂

  1. Alice was unimpressed! “Does it do video?” Heh. “Well back in the day our cameras didn’t take video…”

    But I think this will work out well for Jill. The fancier a camera gets the less likely she is to “point & shoot”.

    Unlike the old ones, you have to turn it on. Takes a couple seconds. On the other hand there is no messing with film, and instead of 24 pictures per disposable camera, you get 500.
