more nostalgia

Yesterday I hibernated and today since the studio was still set up for this stuff I thought I’d add a few more of my favourite cameras to the collection..   This Rolleiflex TLR I bought from an old camera dealer in a going out of business sale.. I’m quite fond of this unit, and it tends to accompany me when I go walkabout though I’ve used it in the studio a bit too.  The image quality is excellent and the viewfinder provides a surreal feeling as you peer through it..

And this little Petri 35E belonged to my mother and was responsible for some beautifully flawed images from a trip to Japan in the late ’60’s.  I know she was upset about that, however the beauty of this sort of film abuse has more than made a come back with the resurgence of lomo cameras like the Holga and the Diana.. I’ve just run my first roll of film through this unit after finding it buried deep in a desk drawer. I’ll share the results when I get the film back!
