Flickr Trends: Shore

Following on from my most popular tag on Flickr a couple of weeks ago - buildings - the second most popular is "shore" under landscapes. Now this one I totally understand as I LOVE the beach! 

I will admit, its so great to see my photos like this in collections of trends. I often forget that I've taken SO MANY photos in the last 5/6 years with film and its nice to see oldies in the mix as well as new ones.

I do want to go to the beach now though - don't you?

Records and cameras...

{Or his and hers...}

Location: Leeds
Camera: Refurb LC-A
Film: Kodak Elitechrome

We like to collect things...

I often get asked what my boyfriend Thomas thinks of all my cameras around the house... and here's the great thing - he can't complain as he collects something too.
Records.
I brought Thomas a record player as a present about 5 years ago but its only recently that we've had the space to get more records and yesterday Thomas brought 4 boxes of 50 and 60's rock n roll records for a crazy bargain price.
Perhaps I have a bad influence on him...
(remember by box of cameras? Oops)
In case you were wondering, Thomas now has over 200 records... which makes my nearly 40 cameras seem quite small in comparison.
So really, people should now be asking me what I think of that :)

New cameras!

On Saturday we went to the St Gemma's Hospice vintage fair and I have to admit, it was fairly amazing... though I am probably just saying that as they had one full table of cameras for me and one full table of records for Thomas.

However I did find the most amazing bargain ever!

A fuji instax 100... for £4!

I saw it as soon as I walked in the room and pretty much shouted 'Thomas, grab that camera, NOW!' Haha, classy Rhianne!

Although the table was full of goodies (some of which I already had which I guess isn't a suprise) I was quite taken with my other camera find... my first TLR camera.

I've never seen this camera before but after doing a little research I found out its from 1954 and was very popular after the second World War. We had too much fun Saturday afternoon attemping to take TTV photos...

I think I might have to borrow an DSLR so I can try to take TTV photos properly like Cassia's lovely photos in her shop... I love how they look!
