iPad 2's Built-In Camera




Here is an unedited photo I took of my headphone amp and AKG K701 headphones. They belong to a bedroom system. When I took this photo, I placed the iPad 2 on a stool. If I hold the iPad with my hands, I'm too shaky. The room's lights were off, while the window's shades were open [it's morning, here in the Bay Area].

While people complain that your photo is fuzzy, I think the low light jars and evokes my memories of the early-90s, when we had 35mm cameras. Using flash would make objects too spotlit. So if we had turned off the flash, we'd end up with photos like yours. In those days, we had to use up the roll (usually 24 prints), take it somewhere for development, and wait.

Although your photo is of the present, its ambiance reminds me of the Fall 1990 quarter, when I was in a tiny and dark dorm room. I'd hunker down with my Sony D-10 Discman and MDR-CD6 headphones. That was thrash metal's peak, so yeah, I listened to new albums from Exodus, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Slayer, and Testament. But the CDs I probably played the most were Queensryche's Empire and Prefab Sprout's Jordan: The Comeback. One of these days, I'm going to have to write a review of the latter.

Thank you for taking the time, making the effort, and sharing your photo!
