Day Seventy Three - My Favourite



My head's really tired tonight. This snap is from last night and was meant to be uploaded yesterday. Katie's my favourite =). We have a few ideas for photoshoots very soon too and i'm really excited. I can't wait. This photo was just a quickie. No thought to setup or location or anything as we couldn't be bothered leaving my bedroom. Heh. Cookies and Cream ice cream and Katie is way too enticing.

I have a to-do list as long as the great wall of china at the moment. So i'm slowly munching away at it and trying to get scripts written up nicely and organised so i'm more motivated to get out there and get filming. I also picked up some cameras today my Dad found me in Adelaide. One's a little Kodak Retinette. I've never heard of them before but it takes 35mm film and is very similar in appearance and functionality to the Olympus Trip meaning it has aperture control and four focus areas which isn't too common for a twin reflex camera. I'm pretty keen to see how photos come out! The other camera he picked up is a fairly old Minolta 35mm which has a 58mm f1.4 lens attached. The lens itself is worth a lot more than the $10 Dad paid for both of these beauties! If only it was a Nikon lens, I would have wet my pants in excitement.
