I found a Canon Sure Shot ES Date in a thrift store. I had not seen one before, and a quick search of the internet before purchase revealed no information at all. But for $2, what did I have to lose?

The shutter was very slow – probably around 1/2 second or slower which explains the lack of focus since it was handheld.
But even though blurry, I still like it.
This view normally is impossible to shoot due to the houses in the background.
Perhaps it can be done without snow, especially now (more…)
Another photo from a conference I attended in Vancouver earlier this month.
