It was during my first week with this new, fully manual camera ; I was still struggling to master it, trying to get the focus and exposure right. I wandered into the local exhibition space in an old chapel, hoping to get an indoor shot. Some cool, predictably alternative art students were standing nearby, talking and nodding, while one of them (the artist?) explained their vision about moth. I felt self-conscious and uncool while I tried to adjust my settings. I managed to take a photo and slip out. I was happy that the photo, at least, turned out well.
