Pocket Watch Necklace
I've always wanted a pocket watch, but never really seen one that had caught my eye.
Trust me to find one at Mr Price, lol.

Afternoon Swim
On Friday I managed to get a lift home with Darren, so I could get some work done before Splashy.
I was home for no longer than 20mins when Bex calls, asking if I wanna ditch my work and hit the beach....so I did what any good student would...I said I'd be ready ASAP.
Sadly we couldn't get a car, so we went to Tyler's instead and had a lovely swim.
Not long after our swim Bex's mom called, we had a car and told Sarah to be ready and waiting...what a beautiful afternoon
I ♥ Afternoon Swims

Real Time vs. Lomo Time
When owning a Lomographic camera, you tend to forget what pictures you've taken.
So every time you develop a new spool, you are always suprised.
This occurrence has made me develop the concept of Real time, and Lomo time, as the pictures are recent, but the events are not =)
So, these are the latest pics in Lomo time

Vintage Cameras
Recently I have decided that I will be a camera collector because there is nothing better than a Vintage camera.
About a month ago my mom and myself went to a local flea market, and came across an old lady who is moving into a retirement home, as her husband has recently passed away. She was selling his camera equipment. I got everything in the below pictures for R160. And as she starts packing up her home, she will keep aside any more items she may find. Very exciting!
This is a Pentax ESII. It was released in 1973. The Lense came with the camera, but I think it is more than likely a Macro lense...because everything is super zoomed all the time. lol. It's a SLR 35mm and still works, quite nicely.
Both the cameras came in customized leather holders, and then a larger leather carry case. The second camera is a Yoigtlander Perkeo III/E. It's a 120mm fold out camera and quite beautiful. It still works, I just need to get film for it.
I also got a flash, it's quite old and made out of plastic and came with light filters.That little thing with the copper chord is a Horvex 3 light meter, still trying to figure out how to work it. hehe!
And those are my exciting finds for now. More to come, soon I hope!
