My broken camera so this many seem so crazy but, a friend of mine gave me it said it’s an old digital camera and I have no use for it. This camera has been a few family vacations and even took photos for my friends wedding and so many photos of my kids. My heart was broken when it broke. I honestly never take the best care of anything of value and I tried though. I just was so hyper focus on uploading photos I couldn’t hear any of the sounds and chaos that was happening around the house. Everything freezes when I finally get to sit down. Our pup was running around the house and tripped up the cord this poor camera flew on to our hard tile floors. I tried about 500 times maybe to get it to work, over and over and even made it over heated, I was scared to tell my friend even I could never afford something so nice again. She told me a story to put things into prospective for me she said it is just stuff which is why I gave it to you I knew it could bring you joy and that is worth more than what I paid for it. Someone I knew bought a truck for 500.00 from a friend he was so happy and grateful for the deal on the truck that not too much later he totaled the whole thing and barely got hurt. It’s just stuff it’s just a camera but, I obsessed and even cried over it. I even thought about how I could lease one with qvc or get one for Christmas no one would spend that much money on me. So I sought ways to fix it myself even watched videos on it. I have no clue why I took it apart I just did and don’t even want to see what I did to the actually body of it. It just fell apart and crumbled into my hands I took it apart and forgot how to put it back together. I don’t pay attention to details yet I had to get it done to get it fixed would have been more than it’s worth to buy a new lens for it as well... Not too much longer after that and lots of rants and crying on fb to my friends another friend offered a slightly lower model of a nikon a “point” and shoot. I am learning and re-learning how to use it it’s much slower but, I am being more patient with it. She told me she wanted to see me happy again. Things do make me happy but, only for a short while. I have a poem I wrote about why taking pictures is so important to me and not just a hobby. I wrote it down somewhere I’ll have to share it later.
