“It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.” – George Washington
There are places that we visit that just take us back. When we get there, it either brings back memories from when we were younger or maybe something that happened recently. When we took our trip to Europe and saw the castles there, I was reminded of some of the video games I enjoyed as a kid (and some I still enjoy). Sometimes, when I go back to where I grew up to visit my mom, I have many memories from my childhood. Travel does a lot of different things to us. Even when we visit somewhere new, it can remind us of somewhere we 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.
