scary surgery
so if you haven’t noticed, i haven’t been posting any new pictures on my blog lately. a few weeks before i left sacramento, i dropped my iphone while getting out of the car. the phone worked fine, but there were a few nasty gashes on the back, including across the camera lens. this sadly made all of the pictures i took look like the lens was covered in vaseline. here are two examples from when i was in utah:
this is mariam coming out of a cave we found while hiking in rock canyon.
this is cory and laura enjoying good times at RL.
so, as you can see, the pics look all blurry. i didn’t like taking pictures with my phone anymore because it bugged me so much. when i got here to madison, i did some searching around until i found this site. they sell various iphone parts, so i ordered a new lens piece. it arrived today, so using the super useful guides from ifixit, i opened up my phone and replaced the lens. it was pretty freaking scary, but i got everything apart and back together without any leftover screws.
here is a picture where you can kind of make out the scratch on the lens. hurray for a having a working camera once more!
