I had oh-so-very high hopes for the first photo.

I’d been wanting and planning and saving to buy a new camera for quite a few months now, so I knew it had to be something special. Maybe I’d head out to some relatively nearby mountains at dusk or dawn and capture the sun’s light scattering into unusually-breathtaking reds and oranges; or perhaps Lake Tai would miraculously freeze over and I’d stumble upon a cute local family venturing out on their ice-skates. And then I thought, a personal photo would be more meaningful in years to come, and yet more images filled my head.

Of course, all this was made unceremoniously moot by the saleswoman who opened the box and made sure that I took a photo there in the shop to prove the camera was in working order before I left. And so the very first image that I composed, brought into focus and saved on the memory card was of three tripods against the blurred background of several camera counters.
