it’s a new year

And I have finally joined the 21st century: I have a cell phone!!

And it takes pictures, see? Notice how my fingers look like Play-Doh Fun Factory sausages. Or as if they’re made of almost lifelike rubber. Creepy. Also, as you can see, I’m not very good at figuring out how to crop these things. Still, Missy tagged me a while back for a self-portrait — and I virtually never follow-through on “tags” — but, ta-da, here’s the best I could do. Maybe next I’ll get an actual camera. That’d be so 20th century of me.

  1. I’ve owned a camera phone for about 4 weeks now and it’s my first. So far I have 2 pictures of my cat Yoko.

    And yes, my niece and nephew still ask to see the back of my camera after I take a picture and I have to tell them they’ll see it after I get it developed. (Hangs head in techno-shame.)

    It also took me a while to figure out how you took a picture of yourself. (Ashamed again but thinking it’s a neat picture!)

  2. I own that model phone myself.

    Now, you’ll laugh, but – you see that big shiny circle in the middle, right next to the smaller circle? The small circle is the actual lens for the photo. The large circle is a mirror. Lining yourself up in that big circle means that you can take a picture of yourself without getting the phone in the shot.

    Yes, folks – Motorola designed a phone with a specific feature for self-portraits. A PHONE.
