I recently fixed this camera's pressure plate that had come off. I couldn't solder it in place so I resorted to using a sewing needle with some black thread to reattach it to the spring. Seems to have worked well enough to hold the film in place.

 

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed using this little cheap camera. The viewfinder was the clearest, biggest and sharpest I've ever used on a point and shoot. And the lens produced some nice sharp-ish results. I will use it again for sure. The only thing is the advance motor would advance the film by two frames each time which meant I ended up with half the number of shots I could of had with another camera.

If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see what's at stake

You're sleeping

You make a lot of money, and you live in a mansion

And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine

But you feel like even though you got everything in the world

You got nothing

So what you do then is you start going backwards

You runnin' in a direction

And you lookin' for something that isn't real

And all you know is that you just gotta have it

What you're doin' is sleepin'

And thinking that you're awake and you're not

And the problem is that you don't know what you're after

So you put everything that you have into what you do

Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty

But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy

Then you look back and you start to regret things

You only get one life

And every time you lookin' at yours

You feel like everything you have is a waste

And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life

Is because you were never awake

Marble wonders where the night sky goes when the sun wakes up each morning. She thought if she waited for the moment when the sun first begins to reach up from its mountain top bed, she would have her answer. Marble never did make it to sunrise, but Phillip did. He won't say what he saw. He is kind of mysterious like that.

Clover, the Kemode bear is a bit slow to joining the world after hibernation ans likes to gradually get used to being awake

Lady Bug Napping in the Warm Sunshine.

the eyes are resting,

and no light touches from the outside.

Left in the own darkness

safe - not born to be here.

 

rain is my second skin,

washing the world away,

covering me

in a shine of reflections -

which i do not be.

 

to be - be -

in the inside,

my god

and my holding heart,

knowing.

 

i did not win what is already lost,

but i swim

in the energy of my soul.

being.

knowing.

alive.

but not alive -

in this wrong neon lights,

fake lights

of illusions.

 

its all inside.

(my words - i am not gone - i am just not here)

Basking seals on the beach at Horsey, Norfolk. Just one odd one out looking up!

Another from yesterday morning, found a new bit of woodland had never explored before

They always seem to be in a state somewhere between awake and asleep.

Beautiful morning to wake up to , just pure nature that’s the way it should be

these are part of a series I did on insomnia and the things I would see while I was awake in the late, late night/ early morning.
