The best thing about the camera is that it's slow and dumb. It's just a cheap point-and-shoot. To get any reasonable resolution it needs to shoot at the equivalent of ASA 50, and the largest aperture is f3.5, so unless you're in bright sunlight the shutter speeds go on extended vacation. But the lens is fairly sharp, and the camera has built-in slow-sync flash, which my normal camera doesn't. By messing around with it, I discovered that the slow shutter and flash when used around ambient spot-lighting could produce very intriguing impressionist photographs. Some elements of the photo were frozen by the flash, while any bright lights in the frame became streaks. Streakers, I called them.

These streakers were made during a four month period between October 2002 and January 2003. For most shots I either shook or spun the camera during the exposure.
