an old friend in lockdown

On one of our summer walks around Kirkstall Abbey during lockdown, I spontaneously grabbed my Superheadz Yellow Wide and Slim (which a quick Google tells me you can no longer buy?! wtf. wow). I haven’t used this little camera in 5 years so I have no idea why I picked it up now - perhaps because I needed something a bit simpler during this time - but I’m really glad I did grab it. And I’m also glad it still works!

Can you believe that I forgot how much I like this camera - sure the landscape shots aren’t really my style anymore - but I still love how this camera captures the details I have focused on (all the rubbish for example - people suck) and gives it a context other than just what I’ve been drawn to. And those lens flares… gosh I miss sunshine right now!

I’ll definitely try and remember to pick this camera up more often going forward - especially as my poor old LC-A seems to be beyond repair now.

Edinburgh little details

What can I say, I’m a sucker for a lovely window and some fencing…

We meet again...

Last year we went on a little trip to Edinburgh - one of my favourite places in the world - though it feels like it was much longer ago to be honest. However I was reminded of our little visit when I got some photos back recently and there were some photos I’d totally forgotten taking there.

When I looked at these two photos I was absolutely sure that I’d taken them before. And after a root around in my archives I finally found the photo below taken with my Diana Mini in 2010!!

Isn’t it funny how I took almost exactly the same photo 8 years later, without even realising. It’s actually making me miss the square format of the Diana Mini - maybe I should use it again now I have my own scanner…
