My new camera is much nicer anyway. It's always good to have a spare camera, though.
Now I have pictures to go with the descriptions from memory in the 400k report.
Imaginary description:
picture of the "campsite". Interior of Debra's Element seen from the passenger side rear looking forward. privacy curtains hang over the windows. The passenger side front and rear seats are folded into a cot with a lumpy sleeping bag on it. Clothes are strewn about and draped over my recumbent bike, which occupies the driver's side of the rear of the E.
Actual picture:
Imaginary description:
all black picture with a constellation of red, orange, and yellow lights, caused by the camera flash reflecting from everyones taillights, arm and leg bands, vests, and stick-on tape. If you look really hard you might see dim silouhettes of people on bikes.
Actual picture:
Imaginary description:
picture of an attractive restored Victorian storefront with a bunch of bikes leaning against it. A couple sweaty bikers are loitering around fiddling with stuff in their trunk racks. If you look through the window of the sweet shop, you can see more sweaty bikers sitting at tables stuffing their faces with sticky buns and muffins.

Imaginary description:
picture of gas pumps with a crappy 1980s Pontiac LeMans with West Virginia plates getting filled up. In background is a convenience store with the garish red and yellow Sheetz awning on top.
Actual picture:
Imaginary description:
picture of a big stone wall about 20 feet high.
Actual picture:
Imaginary description:
picture of a very old two-story building. A bunch of bikes are leaning on picnic tables out front. People are milling about in period costumes from the frontier days. Unfortunately, none of them are semi-naked native Americans or hairy French trappers. (They need to be more creative in these historical reproductions, I say.) A big fat jerk is sitting on the porch smoking a cigar and polluting the air that everyone is breathing with cancerous death fumes.
Actual picture:
There was no imaginary description for this one, because I forgot I had taken it. This is a picture of what "Out of Water" looks like.
Imaginary description:
picture of a pizza joint in an old storefront. Down the street are a bunch more similar storefronts. There are bikes leaning all over.
Actual picture:
Imaginary description:
picture of narrow road through forest that appears to be flat.
Actual picture:
Clearly my imaginary pictures are better than my actual pictures.
