More inside than dust and a sensor

There’s an actual being (likely mystical, possibly magical) inside every camera I have ever used.

Yes, it’s true.

Logic tells me it is very small (duh), quiet and fairly light, as my Panasonic LX3 camera has never felt heavier all of a sudden, or unbalanced, as though a portly chap suddenly teleported inside.

Being a compact, fixed-lens camera, there are also very few ways inside an LX3, which further supports the smaller-stature hypothesis, I’d venture.

Now ... this isn’t a new theory of mine.

I’ve thought it a long time.

It’s just that I’ve been reticent to share this on the public record, as, believe it or not, stating an unwavering belief in things unexplained and mystical could possibly reflect adversely upon the writer.

Only once have I told someone about my camera dweller.

Afterwards, the person stared silently at me for three very long moments then quietly walked away.

Later I found myself un-friended on Facebook.

It’s one thing to think something, yet another thing to commit it to print and actually write the words: “Yes I believe a powerful (if undersized) creature dwells in my camera.”

Especially when I’ve never seen it.

Or heard it.

Even smelled it.

And I certainly haven’t found any evidential scats or droppings to prove it.

But I’m sure he’s there.

Yes, it’s a “he”, and I’ll tell you about that later.

But I’ll tell you one thing about him now:

There are several of him.
