GOLETA The Goodland

My Japan trip is right around the corner and I originally planned to not bring my camera with me due to the following reason: 1) to me, cameras are cumbersome no matter how small they are, and 2) I hate carrying hand held items while on the go. But after some thought, I had a change of heart because of the following reasons: 1) My camera takes far superior photos than my phone, 2) My phone battery is terrible and it would suck big time if my phone dies while in the middle of a tour or something (and I hate carrying portable phone chargers), and 3) I would probably get more "likes" on social media if I post better pictures of Japan. :)

So I decided to go out and break my camera in which I haven't used for ages just to get a feel for it again before my trip.  The photos below were taken at Goleta beach using my FujiFilm X20 camera.
