Home from school for the day with Ida (Age 7) who was running a fever.\u00a0 Melissa stayed with him yesterday. I took a little time to clean out the hall closet.\u00a0 There’s mostly winter clothing in there, but also an assortment of cameras and camera equipment.\u00a0 I found some old computer disks\u00a0 –\u00a0 considered keeping them, but where would I even find a computer that could read them?\u00a0 So I concluded that if I have lived without them for the past ten years or so, I can live without them permanently.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

I found some extra camera equipment – lenses and such – that should be worth something if I can find the right market, but I also found this particular camera which was called an “Izone”.\u00a0 In effect, it spit out miniature Polaroid pictures.\u00a0 It still had a couple of pics left, so I pointed it at a kid or two and waited to see what would happen.\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 Just a tiny black square.\u00a0 I think I got the thing around ten years ago.\u00a0 I doubt that they even make the specialized film for it anymore.\u00a0 Before I threw it away, I briefly recycled it as a toy for The Princess (Age 4).\u00a0 She was so cute with it – “taking pictures”.\u00a0 Furthermore, it really drove home how quickly technology changes – she would “take my picture” and then say, “Want to see it?” and turn the camera around to the back side where, in her young mind, a camera should have a display screen! The highlight of my camera sorting was finding my old pre-digital camera with an unfinished roll of pictures in it!\u00a0 I finished off the last couple of pics with Dats and The Drama Queen once they got home from school.\u00a0 It’s at Walgreens right now getting developed.\u00a0 Could be trash … or treasure.\u00a0 I’m in great suspense!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
