while enjoying the luxury of wandering around town with christopher during a vacationy thursday last week, a quick trip to the photo store turned into a superamazing surprise. we’d just finished dropping off his film at one lab when we walked over to the another photo shop in the neighbourhood so he could buy some film and i could drool over cameras i wasn’t likely to buy. while enjoying the luxury of wandering around town with christopher during a vacationy thursday last week, a quick trip to the photo store turned into a superamazing surprise. we’d just finished dropping off his film at one lab when we walked over to the another photo shop in the neighbourhood so he could buy some …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nthe girl behind the counter asked if we needed help. christopher asked if they had any Holga CFNs in stock, as the display model wasn’t in the case. she said yes and gestured towards the shelf on the wall. then there was this small pause and, in my memory, everything slowed down like in a movie. chris looked at me strangely for a moment and then said to the girl “okay, we’ll take one”, which made me think “huh? but he already has three!” after a second or two, i realized that he wasn’t buying it for himself<\/i>, but for me<\/i>.
\ni was completely stunned. and thrilled. and grateful. but mostly thrilled. we walked back to the car, with me mostly speechless. as we stood there beside the hessmobile, i put the box on top of the car and was amazed to realize the Holga box was the exact<\/i> same colour as my car: competition blue! i took it as a sign that my having that camera was totally meant to be.
\nof course, now that i have six film cameras and no money to have medium format or b&w film scanned at the lab, i cancelled my MP3 player order to go out and buy a scanner the very next day. i got my first roll from the holga back last night and spent the evening scanning it in. after some trial and error, i think i’ve finally gotten the whole process sussed out. i’d probably have been annoyed it took so long to get just twelve photos scanned, but i was too caught up on how GORGEOUS the photos had turned out to be mad.
\nfor someone who was so scared of 120 film, i’m ridiculously excited to get out there and shoot with it until i can’t stand it any more. thank you so much, christopher. you’ve opened a whole new world for me.*<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
