I'm a bit of a Camera Menace. Probably evident from the various blog entries showcasing my photography over my more discussed passion of Animation. In fact. I have quite the collection.

Let's go over my cameras here:

ATLAS (An HP Photosmart 635) named after ATLAS from Portal 2.

He belonged to my late paternal Grandmother, who apparently had a creative spark to her just like me. I never really met her, I was young when she had passed. I only really had grasped the concept of death years after she was gone. Last spring, when cleaning out my Paternal Grandparent's home, ATLAS was found by my Aunt and Dad while cleaning out a dresser in my Father's childhood room. He was gifted to me in a slightly better condition and I've kept him despite his battery door becoming incapable of remaining attached without tape.

ATLAS feels like the embodiment of keeping a memory alive while making more. 

To the right of ATLAS' is another camera owned by a grandmother, this time my Maternal Grandmother. She used this to film my sister's softball games when I was a kid. But I used it to record my roblox gameplay and just random nonsense whenever at softball games. Two years ago it came into my possession full time and I used it for AV class, capturing most of me and my friend Isaac's antics on it. I wish I could do it all one more time.

Sadly, I have no photos from this camera. They all got corrupted, but all the video, which was way more plentiful is intact.

Ah, my Fujifilm Instax Mini 9

A certain game about time travel, photography, and a shy protagonist convinced me try film photography for myself. HUGE SUCCESS. I've used the camera on and off again since ~Freshman year and have some really great photos I've taken with it. People really like having their picture taken with an instant camera too it seems. I get asked to take photos a lot. Over all, I've amassed a tin full of photos and have given many prints away to those they portray.

The c200 shares one thing with the Instax mini 9, I bought it, it wasn't handed down.

There WAS a c200 in the family belonging to my Maternal Grandmother, but by the time I got it from my Sister a month ago, it was super dead. I put batteries in it, no response. I plugged it in, no response. The c200 wasn't refusing batteries, because when I took two of the four I put in it into ATLAS, they were dead. It was using up all the charge like that and claiming low battery. I naturally asked to get a new one and an ebay purchased unit has arrived. It's not one of my main cameras but i still find it awesome. Sadly, even the ebay unit isn't perfect, the flash controls stuck on auto.

Sorry for being so inactive, I just haven't had much to say besides the anger we're all feeling. You know what I mean. Anyways, stay tuned for a Portfolio and Delta Final.
