Cameras!

I hit the jackpot yesterday.

I wanted to do some scrounging in Michael’s Mother’s Studio yesterday. I’ve found some really cool stuff in there before, but Michael’s dad actually gave some of his old stuff to me yesterday!

I wish I had photos or names, but long story short, I came into possession of roughly 7 fantastically old cameras. You know, the kind that have two funky huge lenses in the front, and a viewfinder that pops up and you look down into. He initially offered up on just one, to which I happily accepted. (I’ve always wanted to experiment with old cameras; they’re fascinating. Sadly, cameras that have been taken care of fetch a mean price.) Next question: “Would you like a darkroom?”

Hell yes I would like a darkroom.

I am now the proud owner of another enlarger, tubs, a couple more cameras and other miscellaneous photography equipment. Unfortunately I won’t actually get to play with anything until Michael and I find our new house. Wahhh.

Crank it back up.

*Whew!* I think I have worked out all the kinks in the new blog design. Obviously, it’s on the front page now, along with all sorts of other goodies! I was worried that the new location would break links people have to popular instructionals, such as the “How to Clean Ink Pens” and whatnot. Again, I think everything is up-to-snuff.

Currently I’m working to figure out how to silmulpost pictures from other blogs I write to this one, since there is often overlap in the subject matter department. Until then, here’s a shot of a cute little bento I made for my husband’s lunch tomorrow.

Delicious!
