“say cheese!”

by

so, i’m reading up on lenses, f-stops and film speed. i used to know all this stuff, but that was in 11th grade and after mom sold my slr camera, i had no reason to retain it. i’m just so consumed with the desire to take pictures again it’s almost painful. i can’t afford a new camera, so i’m thinking i’ll go around the “second hand” stores (aka pawn shops) this weekend to see if there’s anything decent used out there.
i seriously can’t afford a digital right now, so i’ll go back to my roots and get a nice, sturdy 35mm and play around with that. i’m also thinking i’ll fish out my old black & white negatives and get them developed. i know there are a couple water shots i really want to see again.

    i got a canon EOS camera a while back… spent my bank holiday afternoon yesterday in roundhay park (aka my backgarden) taking photos of, well, random shit.
    it’s a pretty neat camera :)
    and there are loads of 2nd-hand ones around…

    dad just offered me his old camera. we’ll see what kind it is. although, i really don’t care as long as it puts images on film.

    Oooooooooooh, so THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong! I keep waiting for someone to show up with a check (hell, I’d even take a cheque at this point!).

    i haven’t looked for the negatives, let alone gotten them developed yet.
