With the Soft Side of the Hand

What Flash?, August 22, 2009
Seattle, Washington
Taken with Palm Pre
Unadjusted

I am so going to take crap for posting this photo.

This is the very first photo I took with my new Palm Pre. Since I wasn't aware that it had one, I had no chance to warn the wife that the flash was going to go off. Haven't played much with the phone's camera since then, though it seems more limited than the one on my old phone. Here's hoping Palm gets off their butts and makes some proper camera controls.

(Side bar: some of you probably wonder why I bought a Pre instead of an iPhone, especially now that the newest version of the Apple gadget has focus control. Suffice it to say that I had my reasons, and if you want to know more you know how to contact me.)

Speaking of my old phone, I just spent half the evening retrieving all the photos off it and arranging them nicely into my gallery. They are now available for your viewing pleasure. Farewell, little Samsung ACH-930, you were a decent handset.
