Here are some pics taken with my new digital camera.
It's a Vivitar ViviCam 3750 that I bought at WalMart about a month ago.I noticed almost immediately that there was something strange was going on, but didn't want to deal with. Approximately 1/3 of the time, the camera took photos of things it wasn't aimed at. For instance, I could try to take a photo of myself and get a picture of something across the room from me.
I ignored this phenomenon for about two weeks, but it didn't stop. In fact, the number of what I called "spooky pictures" increased as time went on. At this point the camera is snapping photos of things it isn't pointed at about 90% of the time.
Every photo on these pages was taken in my home, and every photo was not the picture I intended to take. My camera works normally in public places. If other people are with me it also works normally most of the time, although it sometimes takes a spooky picture.
Many of these pictures are dark. I believe this is because the flash was pointed in another direction and therefore did light up the subject of the photos.
Okay, here are the photos. The first is of me, but again, I wasn't trying to take a picture of myself.
