Scheduled post! First day in Europe! Right now I’m most likely taking a picture of something awesomely 60s-looking in London, like a red telephone booth or Rolls Royce or something… Or, getting off the plane hungry and semi- (very semi) jetlagged?

Here ye, kind folk! My family is heading to Europe tomorrow for my dad’s solo tour in Spain (+ London). Aside from New Zealand, this will be my first time out of the good ol’ continent of North America, so QUITE EXCITED, I AM DON’TCHA’KNOW EH.

Since I never fully “covered” my 8th grade NYDC trip from last May, I thought it’d be a cool idea to post two photos [update] from back then (scheduled, of course) per day while I’m off adventuring foreign land (and hopefully making more trip photos I can share later, too). The pictures will come from just one roll of film I took with a disposable camera, all in D.C. – used it up before we got to NYC, semi-unfortunately – for a total 26 exposures. A little backstory of the roll:

During one of our days at the capital, our group stopped at a little souvenir shop to.. get some souvenirs. There, I bought one of those off-brand crappy generic disposable cameras. (Or at least that’s what I thought it was..) Normally when I use disposable cameras I also like to tear off the packaging it’s fitted with, so the first thing I did after forking over FIVE WHOLE BONES for the things was rip that sort of cardboard suit off.

Upon removing that from this supposedly bad-in-a-good-way camera, I see not a plain black piece of plastic, but a FUJIFILM CAMERA, COMPLETE WITH ‘RETURN TO WALMART FOR QUALITY PHOTOPROCESSING’ STICKER. Wait, there’s more: The place where the little AA battery for the flash is put was knocked out, and instead there was an actual generic no-name battery, I’m assuming because they took the Rayovac one or whatever Fuji puts in their cameras and replaced it with cheap ones (like, for a profit, duh).

I was kind of angry, especially because I paid a ridiculous tourist price for that piece of not-crappy-enough-crap, but I think the pictures turned out just as weird, or at least almost as weird as I hoped. Doh!

Oh, in case you missed it: Part 1 of the NYDC recapping.

COMPONENT DOS, FRAMES 1-4 – “THE WHOLE ROLL”

Turned out okay, eh (eh eh eh eh Canada)? See you in um.. twelve days!

update: “Two photos per day” changed to four every other day, because I think two would be a teeny bit sparse. Carry on.

Postscript: I think after returning from this trip (and consequently a week-and-a-half without internet) I plan on taking a fresh look at this new redesign and making a few tweaks. Nothing huge, but some minor improvements. So glad everybody seems to be liking it!!
