27th Jul, 2023 Those Phone Cameras After All

Well, I have posted before that I rarely use my phone to take photographs. And it’s still true! I rarely use the camera on my phone for taking photos with the exception of taking photos of Roby. Yes, I do take photos of him with my cameras, but it’s much harder to get candid photos of him with those since it’s either in my apartment or on the patio.

And, I have mentioned that I haven’t been able to get out much to take photos with my camera[s], and that is still true. Right now, with this oppressive heat we’ve been experiencing I just can’t get out to take photos, and it’s bugging me. One of the places I really want to get back to is Cedar Hill State Park. I used to live in Cedar Hill and I went to the park quite often; it’s a great place to go and I had a State Park pass so I could go as often as I wanted.

However, I have been taking photos with my phone. I admit, it has come in handy for a few photos, and that would be flowers. Flowers. Flowers in grocery stores! I mean, have you ever noticed them? Some of those arrangements are really cool and the flowers are awesome! Honestly, I used to go in and pass by them never even giving them a second glance. And then one day I stopped to look at some of the flowers and I was blown away, so much so I just had to take some photos. Out came my phone. Granted, not all came out the way I wanted, and some didn’t come out at all. But, I have gotten some really great photos.

So, I will admit, using a cell phone can be used to get some great photos. As I told my therapist once, never say never because it will come back to haunt you!
