“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” – Aristotle
My last few big trips have been to places I had never been before. These were all new places and new adventures. Sometimes when I travel, I like to visit somewhere I have spent a lot of time. It’s nice visiting somewhere familiar. When I visit somewhere I have been before, I not only sometimes see something I haven’t seen before, but it also brings back so many good memories. What is more fun is sharing those memories with others. I am all about visiting new places, but sometimes it’s fun to go somewhere I have been before.
During spring break, my family and I took a trip to Helen, Georgia. Helen is an alpine-themed town in Northeast Georgia. The shops and restaurants are always fun to check out. We visited several different places in town. One of our favorite days was when we spent the day walking around Helen. Of course, I grabbed my camera and brought it with me. At first, I used my normal lens, but I realized after a minute that this was not the lens I needed for the day. I used my lens from Retropia. I love this lens because it is lightweight. This makes it perfect to bring with me while on a walk. I also love that it is made from recycled disposable camera lenses. When I capture photos with it, it looks like the shot was captured with a film camera. It has various imperfections in the shot that give it a retro look. I also like how the lens doesn’t need to be focused. Just like an old-school disposable camera, all you have to do is point and shoot.
