Day One

Which has been, um, educational.

I have discovered, at least, that the camera does in fact work.

Also, that the glimpse of the scene through the viewfinder is the tiniest bit misleading. The frame of the actual picture is larger than it appears.

And did you know that the half slider button at the base of the trigger (on the side of the camera) is not what makes the flip top open?

Or close, for that matter?

Nope. All you need to get the Polaroid magic going is a firm tug on the top of the clamshell. And with a push, the whole thing snaps right back together.

Good to know.

Oh, I am feeling exceedingly amateurish right now. But that's good. It makes me excited about what tomorrow can bring.
