Fun little camera.
Tiny. Killer. Awesome macro.
Love the 1:1 format, the GRD2 was my first digital with that option and boy did I abuse it. This is a couple of years before Instagram launched.
Love the B&W.
Love the 28mm.
Acquired new mid-2008, I’ve even got the little GV-2 add-on viewfinder, the wide-angle adapter and lens, the external cable/switch, and the AC adapter.

From around 10 years ago, found while sifting through the archives.
I don’t always see the good in an image ’til later. In this case, much later.
I love how the eye is lead from bottom to top, in a clockwise semi-circle, with the last flower barely visible in the blown-out background.
It’s like the little blossoms are lining up for take off.
