Got a new (old) Polaroid Land Camera from a friend who found it in a closet of her new apartment.
What a competely different way to take photos than my digital experiences...all the questions that run through your head - (how many seconds do I need to develop this? what's the temperature right now? do I want this darker or lighter?) Yikes. You mean I actually have to think?
This is my dear friend Chad, who *thank god* is a patient model, after a great brunch together today.
Royal Arcade,
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
The Arcade was designed by Melbourne architect Charles Webb who won a design competition in1868. Construction on the arcade began in June of 1869 and was completed by May, 1870. The arcade runs between Little Collins Street and the Bourke Street Mall with a 1902 annexe to Elizabeth Street. The arcade originally consisted of 29 shops of various trades including Turkish Baths. In 1892 the automata figures of Gog and Magog were installed at the southern end of the main walkway of the Arcade, flanking Gaunt's Clock.
The Royal Arcade is on the Victorian Heritage Register (nº H0023) and is deemed to be of national significance as it is Australia's oldest surviving arcade and one of of approximately eighteen surviving pre-1870 arcades world-wide.

These are photos from the backup camera, a G10, taken during a great but slightly traumatic week in July 2011. we were in the Lakes - or Wasdale - for five days. We had a week booked self catering at Irton Hall, in a converted workers cottage - and very nice it was. It was a bit of a trek to the nearest pub at Santon Bridge for tea but the weather was good. The problem was that the day we were due to leave we had a major break in at work. A dozen Romanians stole a large amount of copper from us. They hacked through a double skinned steel roof, bagged tonnes of copper and carried it off across the fields. Copper was worth around £6000 a tonne at the time. Anyway, after a days delay we decided to drive to the lakes on Monday afternoon and get some walking in. On the Tuesday morning we had a walk up Middle Fell, Haycock, Caw Fell, Seatallan and Buckbarrow planned. We were mopping fells up to complete the Wainwrights for a third time so it was a walk we had done a couple of times before.
Passing back over Haycock, retracing our steps to head for Seatallan I found a good spot for a sandwich on Gowder Crag. A stunning view over 2000 foot high. As I announced a stop, Jayne squealed, as she passed a protruding rock it had opened her knee like a knife.It was the first time we had suffered an accident in the hills, fortunately I have quite a bit of experience dealing with injuries like this, I carry first aid and I know what to expect in terms on victim reaction. Jayne was white as a sheet and close to passing out which would have been a disaster. She is prone to fainting but when she does she has a heart condition which causes her heart to stop and could be fatal. Initially I needed to reassure her, keep her calm, concentrate on breathing and told her that there would be no mountain rescue - we would be walking out. I remember saying "it's just a cut knee, you'll be fine in 20 minutes" - and she was! She came to, her colour returned, she had a cup of tea and paracetemol followed by a sandwich and she was ok to walk. I had taped the vee shaped wound, which was deep, as tightly as I dare. The nearest chemists was Seascale, I decided to drive to the West Cumbria Hospital 15 miles away.
The surgeon there was a mountain rescue volunteer so he was impressed with our self help and scrubbed the wound and stitched it up - drama over.
I thought that our walking was over for the week but fortunately I was wrong. The day after Jayne insisted she wasn't in pain and was OK to walk so we did!
On this walk we needed to walk out along the two tops that form the Wasdale Screes - Illgill Head and Whin Rigg, back to Burnmoor Tarn and then a tough pathless slog to Slight Side followed by a brilliant ridge walk to the summit of Sca Fell. We decended by Deep Gill, the West Wall Traverse and The bottom section of The Lords Rake. To the experienced this is an easy enough way down but it is still potentially a very dangerous place. You have a sense of danger, surrounded by towering buttresses, cold air hitting you from below and big drops just a few feet away. The first time I took Jayne this was nearly ten years previous and she was terrified - and then elated that she had done it. When you look back at the 600 foot rock face it looks impossible for the walker - not the climber - to be able to find a way up there. I first did it on my own - at the end of a hard route that I was following from a book. It was my first serious walk on my own away from the usual Helvellyn and Skiddaw stuff. I had walked with a couple of experienced walkers for a mile or so early in the day They asked where I was heading and they pointed to the 600 foot rock face of Sca Fell and traced an invisible route up it, talk about apprehension. I couldn't believe that a WALK could be meant to go up there - but it did - and I did!

Não usa filmes de 35 mm., mas de 24 mm. Esse filme ficou conhecido como "advantix" por ter uma camada extra responsável por deixar as fotos maisnítidas. Além disso, é encartuchado e, depois de revelado, o negativo volta para o cartucho (e você ganha uma página de minifotos - thumbs - para servir de guia em futuras ampliações).
Eu adorava essa câmera. Foi "morta" pelas minhas digitais.
Funciona perfeitamente (mas não sei sobre o filme e a bateria, já que são antigos (embora novos) e vai com o manual de instruções, que esqueci de incluir na foto.
Mais sobre esse tipo de filme: Sistema Advantix.
Bem engraçada a parte sobre o "futuro" da advantix. Esqueceram de prever que a tecnologia seria substituída antes de evoluir. :)
