Here’s the first picture I took with my new camera phone.
Pretty sad, eh? The second picture was of my finger, which I have redacted.
So I turned the lens away from myself (always a good idea) and took this. The big thing hanging off my shadow’s arm is not, believe it or not, my purse; it’s a sack o’ stuff I was taking to Mom’s.
It’s a picture of my shadow self. Is it Jungians who’ll get that pitiful joke or Freudians? Jungians, I think.
ANYWAY, after that, I took this picture of the shelf in our vestibule, with statues of a kitchen witch, two BVMs and The Handsome Monkey King. Also: a snowman and a winter angel given to me by my Pal Pat Stackhouse.
Slowly but surely, I’m getting the hang of this thing. I think.

January 16, 2014 at 7:53pmOh, I like those last two! 😉 Yeah, I have my own copies of the first one. Only difference? Bigger thighs.
They need to make a selfie cam, where the front facing camera IS the high-quality one.

January 16, 2014 at 8:06pmOh, I love my Nokia Lumia 810. Hardly use a real camera these days. But sometimes, I do wish I could swap front for back and back for front.

January 16, 2014 at 10:39pmI hear ya! I tried to get my husband to take my pic with the phone, and he couldn’t get it to take. It does take a very specific and particular touch. Makes me miss having a mechanical button to press.
