Venturing out with One-Eyed Jack


the fisheye is great!
i grabbed my fisheye and decided to roam around the streets of shanghai again.

i love how the fisheye is just point and shoot. it is exactly how i would take pictures, without giving it too much thought. no consideration to angles, or lighting. random capture. sometimes in embarrassment, i don't even look clearly into the viewfinder, i click away just so i can get over and be done with the picture. too afraid that i might be infringing on somebody else's privacy, taking up somebody's time.

i can't wait to finish this roll of film! i was suddenly (and excruciatingly) aware that i needed to be patient! no frantically snapping away just so i can develop the film. i have to wait till the roll finishes, wait till it is sent for developing and then collecting the photos just to see the results. With the invention of the digital camera, who is willing to wait anymore? We all want instant gratification! Aim, click, delete. (if the results are less than satisfactory)

i have 6 more pictures to go.
patience patience patience!
