THE DAY I BROKE MY CAMERA…

4-11-2023 IOWA CITY, IOWA

THIS WAS A SAD DAY, LET’S GET INTO IT…

THE PHOTOS

ACTUALLY, I HAD BROKEN MY SONY A7 III A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS, WHICH IS WHY I CALLED 4-11-2023“THE REDEMPTION SHOOT”. IF YOU KNOW ME AT ALL, YOU KNOW THAT I AM NOT A MATERIAL PERSON. I MIGHT BE MAD AT THE INCONVIENCE, BUT I CAN BUY A NEW CAMERA. IN THIS CASE, I WAS OUT AND ABOUT ENJOYING A NICE SPRING DAY ON MY ELECTRIC LONG BOARD WITH MY CAMERA IN HAND. MOST PEOPLE COULD AND WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING. ME, I HAD TO GET THE SHOT, I HAD TO MOVE FAST, I HAD TO KEEP UP. AND IN THE END, I MISSED THE SHOT, I DID NOT MOVE FASR ENOUGH, AND I DID NOT KEEP UP. AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, I HAD JUST CRAKED THE METAL CASE ON MY CAMERA AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON OR DO ANYTHING. I REMEMBER THE FEELING OF HURTING MY ARM AND KNEE AS I GOT UP OFF THE GROUND, AND I REMEMBER SEEING MY CAMERA JUST LAYING THEIR ONW THE GROUND WITH A PIECE RIGHT HERE AND OVER THERE. BUT LIKE I SAID, I CARE ABOUT MY STUFF, BUT I REALLY CURIOUS IF HAD GOTTEN THE SHOT, OR IF THE PHOTOS SAVED TO THE SD CARD. TO KEEP A LONG STORY SHORT, I ENDED UP FIXING MY CAMERA MYSELF, AND I STILL HAVE THIS CAMERA TO THIS DAY AND IT STILL WORKS. IN HONOR OF NOT GIVING UP. I GOT BACK OUT THERE ON THE 11TH OF APRIL, 2023 AND TOOK EVEN MORE PHOTOS OF LIFE IN IOWA CITY AND GOT SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOS I HAD TAKEN AT THAT TIME. THE COLOR AND CONTRAST WERE GREAT. I DID NOT INCLUDE THEM ALL, BUT YOU GET THE GIST! IT’S BECAUSE OF DAYS LIKE THAT I AM WHO I AM TODAY. WHEN I AM HURT AND TIRED, AND WANT TO QUIT, I JUST KEEP MOVING, I GET BACK UP AND I FIND A WAY TO WIN OR GET 1% BETTER! I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE ADVERSITY. IT ALLOWS ME TO LEARN AND BECOME A BETTER MAN. NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO ACT WHEN I BREAK MY FAVORITE CAMERA ON A PHOTO SHOOT LOL…
