Colourburst

I got this Kodak Instant Camera for R15 at the car boot sale.
I doubt it works, but I'll still get a battery for it and try anyways =P
When I opened it up, I saw that there are still two films inside.
I wonder who wanted to get rid of it so badly that they didn't even bother to take their last two photos?
(unless it broke, lol)

Holidays, So far

I have been absorbed into the time zone that is midyear vacation, filled with half price sushi, rooftop drinks, flea markets and Sunday morning scones.

This weekend has been particularly fun. Friday night we saw Desmond and the Tutus and headed back to Paz's house for Chandre's birthday. We had drinks on her roof, it has an amazing view.

Saturday I went with my Mom to St.Luke's fete. Got some owls (will show them in another post) and met up with Bex and we headed to I Heart Market to meet up with everyone else. We got free shiny rocks while eating the most amazing breakfast and then headed out to Essenwood flea market where we sat on the grass, got dragged by Timmy (Bex's Pooch) and ended up having ice cream on the beach. Bliss!!
To top off the day, we went to Shevie's for a braai and I went to bed feeling very tired.

I woke up bright and early today and went with to the Car Boot Sale. We met up with Lara-Jan there and the three of us battled the sea of people. If you live in Durban, you have to go to the boot sale at least once, it's so interesting. I got an old Kodak Colourbust instant camera, for R15.
Before we went home, Se and I HAD to go for scones at Botanic Gardens...most amazing scones ever!

So, that was my amazing weekend...♥

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!
