A number of years ago, before I started a beginners photography project, I made a far less organized attempt at taking pictures. Shortly after Flickr became popular, I bought a FujiFilm S3000 (FinePix) point and shoot. I knew absolutely nothing about photography. And since there wasn't a wealth of photography information at the time, learning was slow. Although I enjoyed myself, the effort eventually fizzled.

Fast forward to 2025 and I'm buying a USB to USB-C converter for my MacBook to use some old thumb drives. It occurred to me that my old camera connector was USB. But where was the cable? Fortunately, it was neatly coiled up in storage.

Obviously, while going through the old photos, I found that most shots were useless. But there were a few close and could-have-been shots as well. I remember taking this one. It was a street side restaurant with a glass enclosed patio. I even remembered the original title, so I used it for this post.

In the end, it was good to look back and gain a new perspective on current photography efforts.
