today i got out my parents camera and fooled around with all the controls and went around with no filn in the camera pretending to snap pictures just for the hell of it...i'm going to buy film today and shoot a roll to make sure the camera's still working and i'll take it to rehearsal tomorrow and at some point i'll get batteries and see if the external flash still works...i'm so excited about this whole i-have-inherited-the-artsy-camera thing.
