arcades [&] night hikes

i haven't been busy recently, but
i'm visiting london to see my friend soon, which i will blog about in here as an excuse to post pictures. my new digital camera (gateway dc-t50) gets here soon which i will be taking so many pictures with. i have a super soft spot for really old cheap cameras, and i found this one for 14 dollars with no shipping charges... it was so perfect.
you can find photo samples for cheap ebay cameras really easily on r/vintagedigitalcameras. people shit on reddit for super valid reasons but it's the only place left on the internet where you can actually find anything anymore. the search function barely works on anything else (including google), and for some reason a lot of sites interested in archiving digicams doesnt have a few sample pics with them. feels like they should!
i was actually looking on ebay for a camera for a while, but i'm such a cheapskate... i really just hate my phone camera and the post-processing on iphones, and little digital cameras are perfect for actually taking cute selfies. and pictures of everything else too. people try and say owning a digital camera is a worthless hipster thing, but i genuinely feel like the iphone sucks all the life out of everything i try and take pictures of. why do they do that? i take the picture and as im taking it it looks so nice, then you actually look and it looks like bad cgi. i should maybe sew a small pouch for it but... i just dont want to lol im feeling so lazy recently.
did you know america online sold two different digital cameras at one point? they had a point and shoot camera, and one with a small lcd screen.
its so slabbish and ugly, i wanted it so bad, but i just couldnt find any listings with confirmed operation for a price i liked. i love random branded products like this, especially about internet stuff (internet archive fingerless gloves i need you in my life) but its different when its novelty tech. just so crazy. i like some of the gaga songs but wtf does she know about polaroid type vibe. anyway.
this blog will problably be a mix of short tangents about stuff like this and long rants about characters i like and projects ill be working on. i wanna try and use the stamps and gifs im hoarding in them too but i dont know how lol. im thinking of doing a monthly wrapup, but we will see if i commit to that. with love,
truant OUT!
