My Camera Sucks - Simucon Road Trip 2003

My Camera Sucks

Simucon Road Trip 2003

So I went to get 2 rolls of film developed from my trip and before and after, and found that every other photograph failed to come out on both negative and print. I asked the CVS staff about it and they told me their equipment would never do that, and my camera has always sucked anyway, so I guess we'll chalk it up to that. It's an auto-focusing camera that usually chooses to focus on the wrong thing. I have trimmed and resized photos to their advantage. Feast your eyes on these...

This is me, sometime before my trip. I don't know what's going on with my hair. (Other, undoubtably better pic of me that didn't come out) RR group dines out. Left side Bradach and three very nice people I forget. Right side Divid, two people I forget, Ozias, and someone else I forget. (Pic of other RR people and friends, including Karly and Kerl) Alisaire and Aramana in shan costumes outside Amoco near con site (Pic of other people in their costumes)

Blurry Alisaire, in-focus Cappurnicus (Nice pic of Quinstol and Divid swordfighting) Blurry pic of DR guys fighting, Divid in background. The DR guy on the right won the boffer sword tourney. (Really excellent pic of Quinstol and Divid swordfighting) The hotel pool. I was the only person to go swimming. (Another lovely pic of the hotel pool)

The hotel room where 11 of us stayed. (Nice pic of some people getting ready to leave the con) Ilvane, Heuward, Brakian and some other people in the hotel lobby. (Lovely, heart-rending pic of more people getting ready to leave the con) Blurry St. Louis arch. (Exquisite scene of the interior of Mammoth Cave, where I stopped on the way back)

Blurry overexposed tourists' heads. (Fine snapshot of ancient river-carved limestone) Hoofland's Tonic, 18?9. Gypsum formations. (Shot of large cavern 300 feet underground) Proof that camera flashes are no match for the plutonian darkness of the inner earth. (Stunning shot of stalagmites formed over hundreds of centuries by the slow drip of mineral-laced waters)

Blurry stalagmites. (Mnar's player) Charna's kitten out of focus, Charna's table in focus.
