Only a couple of posts after I said I wasn’t going to share cameraphone pictures on my site, here I am sharing a cameraphone picture on my site. Weak, Gail, weak…
But why? Well, because in the last post I mentioned my cameraphone and tonight posted a Twitpic from the Distillery District, but I spotted a more interesting scene from the underground walkway at Eglinton subway station. It would’ve looked better on the DSLR of course, but I didn’t have it with me, I only had the cameraphone, which is crap quality and why I autotag it craptastic cameraphone capture during the upload process. However, as I’ve said time and time again (and I’m really just repeating what many others have said before me), the best camera you own is the one you have with you. I could certainly make a technically-better photo with a camera that isn’t a freebie from my wireless company, but what is more appealing — to me, at least — is whether a photo is interesting or not. Blowing out the highlights is inexcusable on a DSLR, but on a crappy cameraphone it really isn’t all that bad.
In other news (of the favourable kind this time), I’m looking forward to a proper night’s sleep tonight for the first time since the weekend. Last week was worse, but this week’s been pretty busy, too. After the winter concert I was editing wedding pics ’til almost 2am when I just couldn’t stay awake any longer, but I had a deadline to keep. I set the alarm for 5:30am to finish the editing before going to work at The Firm. My clients are leaving tomorrow morning for their honeymoon, so I picked up their prints from the lab after work and made the delivery to their door. Which means now I can collapse…
Music for today: Sam Roberts performing “No Sleep” live at Bluesfest 2008 (I looked for the official video online but can’t find it). I’d love to see him perform — all the live material I’ve seen of the band over the years sounds great.
