Downtown SF looking east
I called the folks over at Fireside Camera in the Marina and asked whether they had any DSLRs under $500. They had one, a Canon Rebel T5i with the kit lens, for $350. Not a steal, not a bad deal; I could have bought something cheaper off the internet but trekking across town to put one in my hand and support small business sounded nice, so I rode the 22 across town and goddammit bought the thing. It’s great.
From the camera store – great people, very helpful! – I walked to Molinari Delicatessen, shooting at signs. My photos are nothing special but it’s very fun to do. I am slowly learning to weild the machine.

A nice wall
From there, I wandered over to the Peak Design store to buy a strap and a bag. On the way I stopped at Emperor Norton’s Boozeland for a $3 can of Hamms, which revitalized me.

Good for one drink
