There's one photo I didn't take (and really regret not taking) the day Sproutlet was born, a photo of the placenta... it was so vividly full of life, deep red and violet striking in a way I didn't think possible.
I was shocked when the shutter on my Nikon D40 wore out, I didn't know that was a thing. I was really into manually aligned computational photography for the decade I rode the train to Chicago. I've got half a terabyte of photos and short videos. I doubt that sproutlet will want much of it once I'm gone, but the photos helped make friends, and build friendships over the years, and bring me joy when I look back on them.
Long covid took me out of the game, and I'm just starting to get back into it. While they are better than the old point and shoots from the start of the digital camera era, Smartphone Cameras still suck compared to a DSLR when it comes to image composition and just getting the focus on the right thing.
