New cell phone!

I was sorting through my inbox, and came across a Verizon Wireless mailer, promoting a free LG VX8100. Of course, after a 2-year contract and mail-in rebate. I haven’t left Verizon Wireless in years, and their service has been impeccable. Mom hooked me up with the 50 bucks I’d need upfront. Thanks Mom! Anyways, I after a quick 30-minute run to the Verizon Wireless stand at the mall, and actually 75 bucks upfront (taxes), I’ve got a brand new cameraphone.

I literally typed each phone contact entry from my old LG VX4400 into a text document, then entered all my frequently-used contacts into it. I’ll copy the ones from that document into Palm Desktop so they’ll be available on my PDA.

It’s kind of scary because I’ve had a non-camera phone for quite sometime now. Andy sort of got to me, saying how insane it was that me – out of all people – had an old cheezy phone. Not anymore!

Now, I just have to resist buying a MiniSD card for it. It’s not a need. Focus…

Update: I found a way to increase my battery life. If you don’t use EVDO, disable it. It’s supposed to triple my battery life. I don’t know what it is exactly, so it’s disabled for now. I’m glad I found this tip right off the bat.

  • Depends how you look at it November 16, 2009
    Silas and I were supposed to meet up with other photography classmates for long exposure photos from Cow Canyon Saddle by Mt. Baldy Village1. That didn’t happen. Once we got to the turnout on Glendora Ridge Rd, we just saw a sign and a road leading into an RV park. There wasn’t a mention of Cow Canyon [...]

    I didn’t ask Bill to pose or smile. I liked his second portrait, but that wasn’t as sharp. Boo me. Reflections of myself and Bill’s dad (upper left) was deliberate. Taken inside his dad’s garage, and hopefully soon to be his recording studio. View on Flickr

  • A gift of film November 10, 2009
    Jon Swanson emailed me last Friday and asked if I wanted any color Fuji 35mm film. He didn’t tell me how many rolls he had in his possession. Most importantly, he didn’t want a dime. I asked him how much he had, but he persisted that I give him a number. I requested eight rolls of 200 film1. [...]

  • One of my first prints November 5, 2009
    I tried to get this scanned print as close to the real thing as possible. I cropped out the white borders since they weren’t clean. I didn’t write down how I exposed this in the enlarger – shame on me, I guess. Lastly, since this was our first assignment, our teacher hadn’t shown us contrast filters [...]
