Shot taken December 23(?), 2011, on iPod touch 4 - Wallpapered December 23, 2011
This one turned out incredibly eerie, in retrospect. A red background in the basement of a hospital, mere weeks before my grandmother passed? Yeah, that's gonna conjure up some feelings.
I'm still impressed I managed to get a usable indoors shot on the iPod touch, though. I haven't really gotten many indoor shots since -- I think my last one at the time of writing this was 2012, even! It's a niche I'd definitely like to explore more.
I recall being frustrated that her stay here precluded me from getting any photos in New Jersey. It ended up taking until 2019 to get a shot there, and I didn't even do anything with said photo for about a year!

Wow, I actually managed to get a good indoors shot on the iPod? Hell's frozen over!
This shot was taken in the basement of Springfield Hospital in Springfield, PA. As usual, I've dithered it down and applied an Atari 800/Commodore +4 palette to it.
I dunno what exactly grabbed me with this shot. It's right outside of the vending machines in the basement, and fortunately I'd brought my iPod with me. I guess inspiration strikes at the weirdest times?
The door is to the electrical room - ear protection required. Red REALLY fit this one.
