Photo Champ

I bought the PhotoChamp on eBay - cheap enough - and when the postman delivered it, I rushed to see my new discovery. Most eBay sellers pack stuff like it was plutonium, and this guy was no exception. As I wrestled my way down the many layers of bubble wrap, I could see the little gem nestled safely inside. But in my haste to get at the camera, I fumbled it. It flew in a Sam Peckinpah slo-mo and smacked the North wall of the studio. Bricks break plastic, if you're playing along at home. The front bezel popped off the camera, and what used to be the shutter either vaporized into thin air, or fell through a crack in the floor down to Mark Lozano's studio. I cleaned the lens and gaffer-taped the bezel back on, and now, I'll have to find a 1/4 -20 nut to epoxy onto the bottom of this cheeseball so I can make into a long exposure camera. I can just see me shooting Christmas lights on the Plaza with this teeny camera strapped onto a 35 pound Gitzo tripod. I'll probably get arrested.
