A couple photos of me.

6/28/2015

I'm not very social, but occasionally someone takes a photo of me and it finds its way onto Instagram. For my own reference, here are a few of those from friends and family.

Christmas carols with Nordstrom and Bowtie :)

Also, I've contributed my inarticulate opinions to a couple episodes of A Path for Progress. I have a lot to learn about talking politics, but it's good practice for when I start my podcast.

I've been enjoying these clip-on lenses that I ordered from Geek.com.. There's a macro lens, a "wide angle," and a fisheye lens. I like to keep things as analogue as possible most of the time; these lenses let me do fancy things without needing to interact too much with apps themselves.

I like to keep the "original" image as organic as possible.

Here are a few of my recent experiments:

S5 camera.

I upgraded my old Blackberry Torch 9800 to a Samsung Galaxy S5 back in January.

My wife bought the iPhone 4 and I bought my Torch at approximately the same time in 2011; I knew the Torch was obsolete right away. Nonetheless, I enjoyed that little phone and used it on a daily basis for three years. It still works today and I'll keep it as my "unlocked" travel phone until it finally completely gives up.

Me holding the S5 in a token bathroom mirror selfie.

After five months, I still miss the physical keyboard. I haven't comfortably transitioned over to the touchscreen.

The S5's camera is much, much better than the Torch's camera. However, there was a certain crispness to outside photos that I miss from the Torch. Here's a side-by side example:

I took this photo a few days ago on the S5 when I visited Hope.

I took this photo a few years ago, a few days after I bought the Torch.

Now I admit that I bought the S5 in the middle of Winter; I simply haven't really had many chances to use its camera in proper sunlight yet. And the S5's camera is most certainly overly superior. But I miss the old Torch camera a little bit and hope I get it together enough to use it now and then in the future.

I took this one a few days ago on the paddlewheeler in New Westminster.

Self-indulgent selfie.

I took this one while I was walking my dog tonight.

So I settled on upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and I have to admit that I'm enjoying taking selfies with it. Of course, this may have to do with the fact that I've lost almost 20 pounds in the last year.

There. I said it. I lost some mass. Now I just need to maintain it somehow.

I noticed, in going through thousands of old negatives, that I have hundreds of selfies from around 1999-2003. I was pretty happy with how I looked. But I haven't digitized any of them, so I can't post them here. But I got pretty adept at them with my little point-and-shoot, long before I had a screen to look at. And I was far more beautiful back then anyhow.
