I live to take pictures. Not only to I live to take pictures, but they tend to turn out pretty good usually. I LOVE to take GOOD pictures. I learned how by using a digital camera... however, as most of you know, both of the digital cameras I've ever owned are broken. So I can't take pictures very easily anymore. Dad's film camera is available for use, but as every technically savy teenager in the world knows, film cameras require much more money and patience to produce good pictures with. It's a sad thing, but it's true... I want immediate results when I take a pictures so I can see what's wrong with it and take a second one that's even better. So I'm suffering from digital camera withdrawls. I take every chance I can to use someone else's camera. This past Monday I went to the State Fair with Luke, Maggie, and a couple other friends.. guess who had Luke's camera almost the whole time... that's right, Esther. The symptoms seem incurable. I see pictures every where I go. I find myself constantly thinking in my head "Dang... I wish I had a camera on me right now... that shot would look so good! Whenever I'm outside during that Golden Hour when everything has a beautiful color and the sun's almost setting, I sigh in frustration--I missed one again. :( However, due to the genius of Dad, Luke, and Hannah, I may have found an almost-not-quite-solution. My digital camera's LCD screen is shot (and there's not viewfinder) but I CAN blind shoot. Tonight I'm going to see Shakespeare in the Park with Katy.(Friend+friend=photo opportunity! So I think hey... why not try this new blind picture taking thing. Happy as a druggy who's gotten his high, I started looking for my camera... but it wasn't there. I called Dad... and I must sadly report he had had the same idea as I.. and taken the camera with him, so

I miserably remain

..digitally withdrawn.
