Day 7 - Lunch Break

January 20, 2024

Fun fact: I worked at London Drugs for a short period of time back in 2015 or so in the camera department. That’s where I learned that Pentax made the first iteration of IBIS—haven’t fact-checked this fwiw, but that’s what I was told. I believe I was working part-time and used the amazing employee discount to pick up a few items. I think I initially wanted to use it on the Sony A7 (mark 1!) but the discount for the Sony mirrorless cameras wasn’t the best so I ended up picking up a used Sony A7. Fun times.

Two reasons I’m reminded of my time there:

1) I’m now employed full time, fully committed to the 9-5 rat race. Shooting at night isn’t my favourite thing to do at the moment so I tried to make the most of my 30 minute lunch break to go outside and fire off a few photos. After work, I also have about 30 minutes to shoot, but that’s also my time to do dishes funnily enough.

2) I needed to have my passport photos taken so I headed to London Drugs after work with my partner.

2.5) We played around with the Photo Booth app, which reminded me of my university days.
