Goodbye Old Friend

From the moment I purchased my x100, I sort of new this moment was inevitable. Now that I'm trying to save up for a downpayment on a house, I'm trying to make cash from wherever I can. I figured while the camera was still relevant I'd put it up for sale. One craigslist posting later and I had 20-30 messages in my inbox.

Because I was not the original seller, selling this camera was like pulling teeth. Apparently, in recent months, this camera has been known to have a "sticky aperture blade" issue. Because of this known issue, everyone wanted the purchase receipt so they could get the camera serviced by Fujifilm. So for me, not having this was a big turn off. Finally, I found someone who didn't care so much about the receipt, but rather that they were getting a good price for this awesome little camera.

All in all, for three months of use with the camera, I only lost $50.

Thanks for all the good times. I will miss you.

Impromptu SF Trip.

The girlfriend and I went to SF a few weekends ago for this



Unfortunately when we got there, it was way over capacity and we couldn't go in. I would've been bummed, but honestly any excuse to go to the city is fine with me. Also, the parking lot was pretty much a car show on its own.

Thank God for video coverage, because here's what I missed



After getting the boot from the show, we decided to take a stroll along the coast. I brought my x100 along to snap some photos as well. Overall a really nice escape with my favorite person.

Going Home.

After putting it off for several months, I finally found some time to make it home to Southern California to spend some time with my mom and brother. We didn't do anything too extravagant, but it was great to catch up with the family. I know San Jose and San Clemente are only six-seven hours away from each other, but it still feels like we're on opposite sides of the planet sometimes. I hope that I can see my family more often this year. For now, these photographs will remind me of the great times I had.

A Boy and his Camera.

So, this past week I turned a whopping twenty-three years old. My awesome girlfriend treated me to a day in the city and a stay at the awesome OMNI Hotel in the heart of San Francisco. We got there in the afternoon, and just walked the streets until it got dark. I brought my x100 along and snapped a few photos. Unfortunately, the camera died midway through our walk. No big deal though. I couldn't imagine having a better day with the girl I love.

A few photos I forgot about, both of which featuring the very sexy Fujifilm x100.
