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.
