#pointshootship

Let’s try this again.

I’m mad, frustrated, angry, and disappointed. This is/was my baby. It’s tough not seeing it grow up or make it to it’s 4th destination.

So, the 2nd Point Shoot Ship camera has been in limbo for far too long. It’s unexceptable. It’s been “lost” by USPS twice heading to Joe’s place. Which I find hard to believe personally.

I’m mad we lost the photos Kathryn and Nick took while in Australia earlier this year. I’m angry that we won’t get to see what this camera could have come up with. I’m frustrated by incompetence. Mostly I’m disappointed no one was honest with me.

Yesterday I headed down to my local post office and fired off the camera to Joe before he heads to Chile with his son, Maceo for a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn to walk. You should help out and donate to these wonderful people. Stand With Maceo!

If you were on the Point Shoot Ship 2 list you will be receiving Camera 2.5 at some point in the mail. If there are any issues let me know. Keep me in the loop.

Wow, it's certainly been a while. A couple months. Heck, maybe a little more. Life's been a little nuts over the last few months. Which is no excuse for not posting anything on Point Shoot Ship, but you know I'm also lazy sometimes. 

In the last few months I've been working at least 1-2 music festivals, plus concerts, plus my regular job. My nights are filled with editing, writing, and working on my website rocktographer.ca. Hard work is starting to pay off though, and I'm starting to see serious results from it.

Where is the second camera? Good question. It left Australia a long time ago. It got to North Carolina, and the person who had the camera "shipped it." That was like two months ago, and since then they've moved. They told me the camera has been sitting in Tennessee for a while, and that they are having it shipped back to their new address so they can ship it to Joe in LA. I hope this happens fast. The camera has been "in transit" for far too long. 

Yes, Point Shoot Ship is still very much a thing, but ball drops, and shipping tend to get in the way a lot. I haven't really had an update to give about the whole situation until lately. It was only earlier this week where I found out any of this. Hopefully the camera reaches you soon. I was honestly considering just sending out a new camera to those folks who haven't gotten it yet. 

On the photo's that haven't been posted yet. That's totally 100% my bad. I scanned all the photos, but deleted them all, because I do that sometimes. Now I can't find the originals, but I have the negatives. I'm planning on heading to the shop this weekend to get them reprinted. All the photos even the ones that didn't turn out. 

There you go, that's the update. Hoping to get this train back on the rails shortly.

"It's crazy how hard it is to decide what's worthy of a photo you can't just delete. Anyways, I decided to pick two places in my neighbourhood that represent my childhood in Victoria and my triumphant return as an adult. 1. Summit Park rock climbing. 2. Logan's Pub."

When I got there, everything was fenced off and being repainted.  My backup plan was to get some photos at Botanical Beach. You know, nature being cool and stuff. Unfortunately, work screwed stuff up that plan and now I get no free time ever. I ended up retracing a route my family used to drive every Sunday when we first moved to Victoria. The family made a sudden decision to move to the coast from Alberta after my father lost his job. I quickly fell in love with the scenery and the ocean and I became super obsessed with whales. I don't think I could ever leave this place now.  I guess sometimes a change of plans can be a good thing."
