lazy fridays and Canemah



i am sitting smugly in front of the screen with a honey joy in hand and its making me ridiculously happy cause i think there is waaay too much sugar in there. Its a coronary heart attack in cupcake case. I decided i really just needed to do something productive like.. making jellies. which are still setting in the fridge and coconut/chocolate honey joys. No one eats cornflakes but we had them in our pantry so i thought i'd best not let it go to waste. 


Anyway, I know how hard it is on the big wide internet to get recognised so i am going to be featuring new shops from etsy on my blog. Tell you what, its pretty exciting when after sifting through hundreds of stores finding one that reallly catches your eye.  Last night [ i think it was last night ] I stumbled across Canemah who sells all sorts of wonderful things like this :

4th gen Duaflex Kodak Twin Lense + Ansco Pioneer camera

At this store you'll find plenty of collectibles. Wether you're after a working vintage cameras or are just collecting, Canmeh is a great place to start looking for a one of a kind sorta camera. There are old cameras and then there are vintage cameras.. These are vintage and are in pretty good condition. Even if they aren't the seller lets you know the condition they are in but its fairly hard finding old cameras that are mint and ones work well and don't burn a hole in your pockets. I'd definitely be buying one of these babies if i had more than what is left in my current bank account.

For now i will just shoot with these two:

minolta hi-matic F + olympus trip
olympus trip
minolta hi-matic

 Its always been a bit of a hit and miss for me. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to film cameras but the result are so worth it when you get it right. They just don't make em like these anymore. And because i'm in a good mood and feel like spreading the love...



aww. they're kissing xoxo...
