While I was getting my most recent pair of disposable cameras developed, I walked around the neighborhood for an hour to get a grasp of what was surrounding me. Many small deli's and fruit stands, a lot of banks, a lot of cellphone stores. Moderately crowded streets around 6:15 PM. Several dogs being walked between business folk and students. The sun was still beating down as it was heading west, but the shadows of buildings stood long and thick across the sidewalks.
I meandered around for about an hour until I found a grocery store near-by. At that point I still had about 25 minutes to kill, so I grazed the shopping aisles very slowly, trying to determine what I could easily carry back to the apartment with me, and what wouldn't melt. I savored fruit, particularly peaches, but the peaches the grocery store had were too small, so I opted for cheap canned peaches instead. Not the same, I know, but canned peaches can be somewhat romantic for a broke graduate straight out of college, right? I picked up my photos, head back to the roof of the apartment, and forked slices of syrupy peaches while flipping through my print outs.
It was a nostalgic dual set of photos from the last half of senior week. Mostly photos of my house and living room, and the good folks getting sauced here and there. Duane Reade will put white borders around your print outs for free, which left the oddly focused disposable camera shots somewhat artsy, if you can believe it. I'm happy with what I paid for, and tossed around the idea of only using disposable cameras from now one. But in the long run it'd be much cheaper to get a digital camera again. I'll have to do some thinking.
Later in the night I started After Dark, ate more peaches, met another person who lives in the building. Wrote up my very first Beta-Tester report for a friend's game and tried with all of my might to beat Gamma Bros, but still couldn't get passed the third level. It's a deliciously fun game though, so try it if you get a chance!
