I bought myself this camera for Christmas and these are the first shots I took. (note: I bought this camera because I wanted something smaller and simpler than my DSLR. I always end up losing my 35mm point and shoots, plus film gets expensive, but I wanted to have a simple camera with a bit of a "raw" edge to it. Thus, all these photos have been run thru filters in Photoshop. I like to call it faux analog.Just Desserts #2 (45)
