Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world. (124/365)

The last time I was at my parents' house, I raided their camera cabinet. I'm not sure exactly why, but my family (myself included) apparently cannot bear to get rid of any camera, no matter how old. That cabinet is literally like a crypt for old cameras. Some are pretty awesome, like this instamatic camera that has been lovingly labeled with my mother's full maiden name using one of those super cool label-makers, or this ridiculously old polaroid.

 

Anyway, I stole these two, thinking they'd make for some cool photos. I'm not really all that happy with how either of these turned out, but post-processing does wonders, so I'll deal. Not every day can be perfect, right?
