[Smile, Mayfield, you're on camera!

Crowe's out and about on town with a spiffy new Canon camera that he bought with some of his savings as a paper boy. After learning that Seychelles was droned now - one of the friends he's had in Mayfield the longest, and his partner in crime in the blitzball team - and that it was looking permanent, he decided to pass on practice today to try teach himself how to use this thing. He's used to digital cameras and cell phones from 2010, not these old things. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but he thinks he's getting the hang of it. As long as he keeps his fingers out of the way of the lens, that is. He's mostly in the park, but he can be found all over town taking photos of people and places that look interesting. He'll definitely stop any of his friends and ask if he can snap a shot of you, as well as any willing volunteers. Strike a pose for him?

Later in the day, despite the on-coming cold of winter, Crowe's still hanging out at the park. His schoolbag is full of books and papers, but he's currently writing in what looks to be a journal or ledger. He often stops, looking lost in thought, or as if he's trying to remember something. He'll shake his head to clear and get back to work. Care to interrupt?]

[Looks at it, amazed. This looks nothing like the pictures she's seen...of course, those were drawings, not photos.]

It looks so real...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well, it is, sort of. My mother took that photo at my birthday in January. Ah, that was almost a year ago already...

Once I get these photos developed, I can show you them. Can I take one of you? [He holds up his camera hopefully.]

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Of me? Alright!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Alright then, smile!

[He holds it up and snaps the camera.]

Should turn out well, I hope.

[She smiles, but she's a little startled by the sound the camera makes.]

So...it's not ready yet?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

They do make cameras that print instantly, but this isn't one of them. [He taps the back of the camera, where the door to the film is.] The picture's store on film I have to get developed onto a piece of paper, like the one I showed you.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Oh. How can they print so fast? Is it magic?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

with the film in this camera, you use some chemicals to do it. I... don't know exactly how it works, I'm afraid. As for as the kind that print instantly... that's a good question.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Chemicals? Hmm.

When will it be ready? I've never had a picture of me before~!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Once I use up the rest of the film, I'll go and get it developed. I'll show you as soon as it's done, alright?

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Alright. I can't wait!
