shortly after this self-timed photo was taken, a golf ball mysteriously slammed into my lens and destroyed my beloved powershot 600.

i was able to bend back the lens, and manually open the cover, but it was pretty wrecked. it couldn't focus or close on its own. and the gears sounded weird, as if they were saying, "why did you place me on the ground in front of you while you were hitting a golf ball?" anyway, here's a picture of me and joe. it's the last picture i'll ever take with that camera.

now, i know what you're thinking. "wait! how did you take all those amazing pictures of urinals?!" well, i went and bought a new camera. if you're keeping track at home, this is the 6th digital camera in 5 years.

camera one - stolen
camera two - accidentally run over with my car at Burning Man
camera three - accidentally dropped at Comic Con, shortly after my cousin Paul blurted, "Quick! Take a picture of that girl!"
camera four - smashed when tripod tipped over during self portrait attempt whilst drunk
camera five - smashed with a golf ball.

I hope the new one can take continuous pics like the old ones. I don't want a year without Kent's magical motion pictures.

But the beauty is that you *USE* your cameras. Number 6 is a charm. The kudos are for the golf shot...BEFORE the smash.

oh man! at least you didn't hit yourself in the head with your own golf ball...like I did.

By the way, I got a new cannon camera too!

I hope 2 things:

1. That person next to you didn't know you and saw the whole thing.

Either way...

2. I hope they just looked at you judgmentally and without speaking shook their heads and walked away.

Somehow, that blur-effect is just interesting enough to work for me.

Of course, it also cranks up the quasi-home-erotic feel.
