film - instant, non instant gratification

 

I often wonder… who owned, who looked through the viewfinder, what did they see before they pressed the shutter release of the camera I am now holding. All the magical moments and slices of life captured on film, memories in print, in photo albums and negatives stashed away.

Sometimes I just hold my camera, close my eyes, feel it with my fingertips and wonder...

 

for fun, simplicity, and always ending up with something unexpected, my plastic fantastics:

holga 120n, holga k-280, vivitar ultrawide and slim, fpp debonair 120

 

for thinking outside the box, my pinhole trio:

zero image 2000, holga 120 wpc, reality so subtle 6x6

 

for top in quality, build, lens and tactile sensations:

hasselblad 503cx, rolleiflex 3.5e, voigtländer vitomatic lla, pentax lx

 

if I could only have one, the asahi pentax sv - a joy to hold, look at, and look through, it is a beautifully crafted, pure mechanical camera
