I finally get to write a
page about me! I know I have a picture on the main page,
but there is no exciting story
to go with it. I just go lucky on that one. :} But for this
picture, there is a story. LoL
So here it is:
I was beginning to believe nothing
of interest would ever happen around me again. Well, on
March 17 I turned 30. (No that
wasn't good thing, LoL) But for my birthday KK brought me a
digital camera. It is a Polaroid
fun! Flash digital camera, and works by saving pictures to a chip in the
camera. It comes with two different setting, one that makes pictures in
320x 240 size (the lower setting) and one that makes them 640x480 size
(higher setting) On the lower setting the camera will hold about 50 pictures,
and on the higher around 15 pictures. So as you can guess I use the lower
setting as much as possible. Both turn very clear. :}
Now that I have explained
all of that, on with the story. When I got the camera I of course had to
play with it. Having nothing to really take pictures of, I took pictures
around the house. Just getting to know the camera, and getting to play
with it. Nothing great came of it; some were good some were bad, but nothing
that we normal look for. :} Until yesterday!(3/20/00)
I was sitting at my desk
in the office working on a new episode for an online series that I am writing,
and I "felt" something behind me. Not wanting to be distracted from my
work, and figuring it was my imagination working over time I closed my
eyes to clear it from my head. That is when I saw a form standing
behind me in my head. It was like I turned around instead of closing my
eyes! So I jumped up and grab my new camera to see if I could get a picture
of it. That is when I started having problems.
I took three pictures
in my office on the lower setting, and they turned out good. Then I moved
to the hallway to start taking pictures there. I started having problems
with my brand new camera. It kept turning itself off. I had to keep turning
it back on. Then setting the lower setting to get as many pictures as I
could. If I remember right, I took 18 pictures in all around the house.
(Counting the three in the office) I had to turn my camera back on FIVE
different times during this. After that I decided to check the camera,
to see if it had a problem. I did this by going into my backyard and took
some pictures. I had no problems with the camera in anyway while taking
pictures in the back yard. As for the pictures, well most turned
out ok. But three are completely blacked out, and two are blacked except
for a red line in the upper left-hand corner.
All of this happened yesterday.
Today (March 21, 2000) I was telling an online friend about it in chat.
He told me to keep trying; I might get lucky and catch what ever is turning
off my digital camera.
Well after talking to
him for a bit, I decided I needed a nap. (Didn't sleep well last night)
So I told him bye and logged out. After doing that I changed my mind and
decided on a shower before my nap. I spent the time in the shower thinking
about what my friend had said, and decided I wouldn't be able to sleep
until I tried one more time. :} So after my shower, I wrapped a towel around
me and went to get the camera. Then I set it at the lower setting and turned
it on, set the auto flash and snapped a picture. The back of the camera
has a small view window on it, and I could see I got something. So of course
I got excited! Went to take another picture, and my camera turned off.
So I turned it back on, but wasn't able to get it on the lower setting.
I didn't waste my time worrying about that, I snapped again. Then went
for a third picture, and once again I had to turn my camera on, and couldn't
get it on the lower setting. Nothing to worry about, snapped a third picture.
Again the camera turned itself off, so I quit. :} Decided to go and see
what I had.
So I went back into my
office and downloaded all three pictures. You can see where the flash reflected
against the hall cabinets. (Bottom rim) You can also see that the flash
reflected pretty much in the same place on all three pictures. Remember
when you look at these, that it took me a total of about one-minute to
take all three pictures. That I stood in the same place to take all three!
I only caught something in the first picture (marked ghost) as far as I
can tell nothing showed in the other two. But I think it is so cool that
I got this picture, that I had to share it with someone who understand.
So without wasting more of your time, here are the pictures. :}}
I will put the two of the big pictures up that
I took with the "ghost" picture. So you can see what my hall normal
looks like to me. :} Feel free to
email
what you think it might be.
