The height of rip offery, or just stupid valuers? The humble Olympus Trip 35 can be bought for less than $10 pretty much everywhere. Great camera, sure, but $149? Cripes.
Makes you wonder how much they paid for it…
Well, I found a pack of unopened polaroid film - 669 colour stuff. Pretty happy. Also today I worked, which perhaps is less exciting. Last night I printed some works for the Unsensored08 exhibition coming up in August.
I also scored a bunch of expired film from an uncle in law, was a non smoker for yet another day and sleeved a whole bunch of negatives which has been sitting around for months waiting for the task.
Rivetting isn’t it.
| sergemarx: | I collect cameras because they are heavy and easily thrown when in need of something weighty to heft. In other news, "heft" is not nearly used often enough |
| carlmarx: | yes, I agree, "heft" is a great word. i often think of it when I think about the the proletariat and his unique class struggle. A hefty struggle. |
Ahhh, the north sea. Or is that North Sea. Sun on my back, storm about to lash me a billion pieces, camera happily loaded with something colourish. happy times.
