Here's one I've been meaning to do for ages, and now that springtime is here and has me outdoors quite a lot again, I felt inspired to go out and shoot with this thing. For the first time in like 23 years!

The Intel Pocket PC Camera is a deeply simplistic, glorified webcam with batteries, when it comes down to it. There truly isn't much going on at all, but that kinda made it an ideal introduction into shooting digital for 14-year-old me back in the day. It's also what first set me on a path towards working with digital media at all, a path that eventually leads to me doing LGR today when I think back on it.

And it's also a bit of a different video when it comes to these camera retrospectives since I actually have a lot of hands-on experience with the thing for once! So I hope you enjoy the photo example section in particular, where I go over both modern day and decades-old pictures that I took with the thing.
