April 27: Hey, so I got a new camera
Day 190: Mark Pagano a photo by allankcrain on Flickr.I forgot to mention this in the post for the day it actually happened, but back on the 21st, after the visit to Schiller's, we visited the Goodwill nearby. And I spotted a Rebel XT sitting on a shelf. For only SIX DOLLARS.
Six dollars is an absurdly good price for a Rebel XT. Those go for about $200 used.
Now, granted, when I got it home, I discovered that it didn't actually work. But I'm still hopeful that I'll be able to get it fixed. I shipped it off to a camera repair place on the 27th, so hopefully that will work out well for me.
After that, we went to Open Mic night and a guy paid me $5 to take his picture. Not a lot of money, but it was only 1/80th of a second worth of work, which means I was getting paid a $1.44 million dollar hourly rate. Not too shabby!
