Rum Bucolic Ape
Displacement activity
You know when you are mad busy, deadlines whizzing past and countless chores undone? Not only that but there is a particular thing you've been meaning to do for ages and set aside the afternoon aside for.
It is at precisely this time that it seems like a very good idea to divert from the task in hand and do something entirely unrelated and unnecessary. In fact, there is a naughty deliciousness to it; the tasting of a forbidden fruit.
This afternoon whilst rooting in the loft for something else, I came across my box of old camera stuff. It seemed to be a good time to organize all this camera gear, dust off the unused stuff and take a photo of it.
It is a motley pile but charts my photographic development from age 18 (manual focus F301 with prime 24mm, 50mm and Vivitar Series 1 Telezoom, Vivitar flash), to age 32 (autofocus F80 with 17-35 sigma ultrawide zoom, 28-100 zoom, SB50 flash) into the digital era (from 2006) with all the rest.
I should sell all the film / manual focus stuff but it is worth nowt. So I boxed it all up back in the loft, all neat and tidy.
