Went on a lovely walk today above the harbour with G and the boys. We saw hundreds of tiny wildflowers, crashy windblown surf, and an albatross flying waaaaay over our heads, and ate chocolate bikkies and apples on a rock overlooking the Manly wharf. This love heart was next to our car when we got back. My camera was overexposing everything wildly, but it was a beautiful afternoon.
These old cameras that we found yesterday still had film in them. The roll in the little Brownie was fully exposed, but the big folding on was only on the 3rd image. Obviously it's a stretch to hope the film will develop after all these years, but we're still going to give it a try.

I picked up a beautiful fully mechanical Minola SRT Super at the recycle shop yesterday. I'm shooting a test roll now... feels good to be getting back into film.
i took this photo with my digital camera through the viewfinder of a vintage Ansco Rediflex that i found at a tag sale for $1.00. image is of a vintage dog planter.
From FOCA: The FOCAMATIC, typically French, at the vanguard of the photographic aesthetics, includes all the characteristics of a device of high precision.
The Focamatic, Focasport IIF and Focaposrt CF of 1962-64. Modernist, cubist impressions of high precision cameras. It wouldn't be French without beautiful idiosyncratic details like a flush rewind crank that scratches the top cap and a stylish shutter release that isn't great to use either.
Couldn't resist making a matching wallet for the Strap Clutch I made the other day :)

Through the viewfinder of a Brownie Reflex camera that uses 127 film. This was only a quick attempt to show what it is like to look through the viewfinder of this camera that my aunt owned in the 1950's. I held the digital camera as far as away as I could so that I could get a reasonable focus on the viewfinder, my right hand held the digital camera and my left hand held the viewing door open. In the full frame of this, my hand is visible and a lot more, the actual viewfinder image is about 1000 pixels extracted from the whole image. The top row is the camera on left, the rear end of a Honda on the right, and the bottom 2 images are of an oak tree with a swing in ithe backyard taken 12/02/07. I'm hoping that the taking lens of this camera is better than the viewing lens at least as far as the dirt contamination goes. It hasn't been used since the 126 format was introduced and my aunt replaced this camera with the cartridge loading 126 format.
