So, clearly I’m no good with analog photography. And my
piggy bank and I are still working hard for that money that’s going to allow us
to finally – finally – buy a high
quality SLR camera. I do have a trusty three-year old Canon PowerShot, but half
the time I leave it at home and the other half I’ve left the memory card in my
computer. But I love to take photos –
I’m one of those crazy people you see who takes photos of dewy flowers, artisanal
cupcakes, copper doorknobs, abandoned shoes in the rain, and male hipsters in ill-advised
skinny jeans.
What’s a girl to do? Luckily for me, last year Kim
Jong-Illmatic bought me a sweeeeet camera-equipped Blackberry Curve. And although I've yet to use that camera to catch perverts engaging in acts of self-love on the subway (but oh man am I waiting for that day), I've managed to capture some pretty awesome photos.
Shots of beautiful New York City (mostly Brooklyn):
Paris in October:
And the Santo Domingo Malecón:
Lest ye think that all my Blackberry is good for is taking pictures of buildings and skies, let it be known: it is also good at taking pictures of L.A. douchebags:
I dunno, maybe you had to be there with me and Haps to realize what a total tool this guy was, what with his high-water jeans, Gucci flip flops, and artfully-coiffed "messy" hair. We stared at him all through lunch, and he totally knew we were staring, but probably thought we were agog at his awesomeness. As Lafayette would say, HOOKER, PLEASE!
