You -- the author of the famous Authentic™ Cities blog -- were given an all-expenses-paid one day visit to Toom City!

...Under one condition: take some nice photos and post them on your blog. Your hotel room has a map with priority targets. Sounds nice!

How to take a photo

1. Find something nice
2. Remove all not nice things from the photo
3. Find the right distance to capture the whole thing
4. Remove all not nice things that returned to the photo
5. Take aim (hold right button)
6. DO NOT fiddle with the camera settings (scroll wheel), you will inevitably mess up and don't know how to fix it
7. Snap! (left click)
8. Hold still for at least one (1) second
9. Oh no, you forgot your film! You can only take 6 photos.
10. Bonus points for photographing businesspeople!

Welcome to Toom City!
