Finding (More) New Hobbies, Thursday Period 2

“It’s our final class together,” Stark said. “And I’ve brought a friend to help us learn about a hobby. Or it doesn’t have to be a hobby. It can be an entire job, too. So. Prompto is here. To talk to you, to us, about photography. Which some of you know about already. Maybe all of you do? Probably all of you do.”

Stark shrugged. He was getting close to babbling. Maybe it was time for Prompto to talk.

And Prompto had to grin a little, because it was rare when he was actually not the more awkward public speaker in a room. "Hi," he said, waving a hand, while his other held a camera. "I'm Prompto, I know some of you already, and those of you who do know me know that I am all about this thing." He held up the camera in the other hand. "My camera. And photography, which is a really great hobby because all you really need is a camera, and there's tons of different ones out there, from super fancy ones to even just the camera on your phone. I started my photography journey when I was a kid, and it was a really great way for me to explore and understand my world, and so now I'm going to share some of that with you guys. I'm going to talk a little bit about how to use a camera and basic tips for great pics, and then I've got some great Polaroid cameras so that you can use the rest of the class to give it a try and get to see the results right away without having to wait for the film to develop. While also having a cool physical copy of the picture, unlike with your phone!

"So let's get started!"

Stark nodded. “Yes. Let’s.” Look, he also wanted to play with the Polaroids.

Sure, Eleanor had told Luma about her ohine having a camera and selfies, but she really liked the idea of learning the proper way to do something she had enjoyed the result of for most of her life, relying on magazines and the like to know what went on and was popular in the outside world. So after eagerly listening, she was just as eager to get her hands on one of the cameras and get started, looking around at what might be good to take pictures of: empty desks, the view from the windows, her shoes and her nails (badly in need of being redone)....

Although most of her time was spent trying to figure out how to do selfie with a Polaroid, invested in it with so much focus that most of them involved her brow furrowed in concentration and a dissatisfied frown at the results.

And when she was sure no one was paying attention, she tried a few shots of her teeth, too....
