My Crappiest Camera





Yes, cellphone cameras are horrible. Crappy lens, low resolution, blown highlights, lots of noise in low light, blah blah blah. Why in the world would anyone want to use them?

Well, sometimes you don't have a camera on you when you need one. That's when.

For the past several years, I always, ALWAYS, carryon a camera or two, in some form of camera bag when I get on a plane. Always.

Not last weekend, when we left for a 3 day visit with family in California. It wasn't that kind of trip.

Murphy's law all over again. Mike peers into the open cockpit as we were boarding in line. The crew sees him, and next thing I know, the Captain's leading him to the pilot's seat. His sister's in the co-pilot's.

And the pilot turns to me: "Dad, you've got a camera, right?"

Duh. Lots of them. All of them at home.

The best camera's the one you have when you need it. So true.

And to AA 265, you guys are cool.

So true! Mike looks like a natural in the cockpit.
