[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?]

Oh. Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you, really.

There's film inside. Once the roll is full, I'll get it developed into the photographs.

[He flicks a button on the camera.] So can I take another one of you? Flash-free this time.

U-Um. OK. Nothing bad can happen, right? And I can see them later . . . ?

[Lucas is a little embarrassed at the thought of seeing himself in another one of those super-realistic pictures. He stands awkwardly in place.]

It's perfectly safe, I promise. And of course! I'll be sure to make extra copies.

Ok, now this time you better smile. [He holds up the camera, and takes it without the flash.]

[Lucas manages a shy uptilt of the corner of his mouth this time, though his expression is still mostly one of surprise.]

. . . Did it work? I didn't see anything that time.

I turned the flash off. It'll be a bit dark, but it should still be good.

And they'll turn out just like the pictures in the houses? Do you know how it works, Crowe?

Ah, well, you take the film inside and get it developed onto paper like that. It involves... chemicals and thing. Honestly, where I come from, this method of photography is dying out. Everything's done with computers now...

[He's not even going to ask what those are.]

Is it really? It seems so advanced to me already . . . Pictures so accurate are really impressive.

. . . Can I make one of you, Crowe?

From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Sure. Here... just look through the viewfinder here, and then click this button, alright?


[He'll hand it over and step back for you to give it a try.]

[Lucas fumbles with it for a little while, letting out small 'oh's and 'ah's for a few moments before readying himself.]

OK! I'm . . . going to press it now!

[You're going to end up with Crowe chuckling.

He nods.]
Nice work. Thanks! The roll should almost be full now, so tomorrow I can get these developed.

Is it alright if I come by tomorrow once they're . . . out of the camera?

Date: 2010-12-03 02:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Sure, no problem. Maybe you can help me sort them all out, too?

Date: 2010-12-03 02:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
I can do that! How many pictures have you taken so far, Crowe?

Date: 2010-12-03 04:05 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
This is my third roll so far, and each one holds 24 pictures. So we have a lot to go through!

That's alright. I don't have anything to do after school usually aside from homework, and I can get that done really fast.

Great. I'll see you then!
