35. A few weeks with a pocket camera

Recently, I was fortunate enough to add a pocket-sized camera to my gear. I don’t often get new cameras, but when I do, there’s usually a noticeable dip in the quality of my photos—sometimes lasting for years—as I learn the camera’s nuances and figure out how to set it up to become intuitive.

That said, I occasionally find myself pleasantly surprised by a few of the random test shots, even those taken casually from the couch while watching TV. I think it’s the "beginner’s mind" at play—letting go of the pressure to capture a perfect shot and simply enjoying the process.

Here are a few pictures shot with the new camera:
