Old Gem's

I was back at Peter's house a while back (Father) and I found a gem! An old 7000 Minolta SLR camera purchased by my Dad back in 1989, when i was a wee pup. Now, I know nothing about camera's as I have grown up with digital, take, upload and go. However, I set my self a goal to learn and appreciate this old craft of film and processing... I've processed an album already whilst in Dubai and the shots were grand, nice and grainy.  Now I'm experimenting with different ISO films (currently, if you must know, an Ilford XP2 super 400ISO) 

The slides above were created on such camera, bit shit quality but you get the idea.

I guess this is a bit of a reaction against the facebook generation, where the majority of pictures seem to be of people doing the same boring snaps of each other smiling in different locations and outfits. Like I wrote in an earlier post, photography is not fun at the moment. Camera's with film are great, they are authentic and unaltered, they are moments captured that are only revisited when the film is developed.... none of this "delete! i look like i have down's syndrome" before going through various photoshopping methods to make us all look like Paris Hilton. 

So yeh, I digress. Stop being so snap happy and enjoy taking photos yeh? There's no better feeling than the trickle of wee you get from the heart racing excitement of collecting your freshly developed snaps. Try it, its a hoot!

Hello Carnival!

Cluster up your fingers. I found these in some filthy mag, cant remember which one... very special, good if your fingers need working out. If I had strong fingers I would wear these.

Hello baby, baby i love you

I did nee realise that American Apparel did babies clothes! I think the pictures speak for themselves.... I am broooooooody, if i were 9 months old I would wear this and look hot, the other babies would have no shit on me.

Team VIV

I'm liking the new Westwood ads.... and who says fashion is ageist? I want to be viv, just look at her, she has no clue where she is... just wondered into the launderette. Her jew claw is priceless. I would iron her skin, any day 

GLasses, glasses, GLASSES

I want all of these to frame my beady eyes... NHS glasses fun like my sis used to rock. Buy me some please

Watched Valkyrie and its all they wore, I want number 2 in the picture, yes thank you.

Clevage

Nice jewelry, on some of my friends' necks.... "oui, i like it!" 

I See No Laughter?

Today i got concerned.... There is no fun in fashion photography! Every page and another tear fell from my eye. What with the whole credit crunching happening you'd think that the world of fashion would be up for a little raucous laughter here and there? 

I found this and it made me ha ha, she is happy and a nut... all the best things. The pixels do it for me most, but would make my crunch experience a little more exciting if there was some humoring photography and fashion...
