Recently I’ve started to experiment with older (or rather cheaper) film cameras. There’s something exciting about the manual settings, not knowing what you are going to get back from the developed film. Almost a kid on Christmas morning type of feeling.
In that vein…The other day Andree picked me up a Brownie Hawkeye from an antique store in Orange. Having no idea how to use it, we decided to load up some 120 film and take it for a spin while walking through Downtown Fullerton and the train station. Obviously the photos are hazy, but was the film not loaded right? Lens dirty or damaged? Then again, kind of has a cool feel. Or who knows, maybe I should scan the negatives myself and the processor screwed up. So many exciting things to discover.
