Sooo, for Valentines day me and Given toddled down to Portobello Road market and I sat and drooled over the old cameras that I wish I knew how to use. Except this time, I kinda found myself buying one. I bought a Yashica 635, a twin lens reflex camera, apparently a Japanese copy of a rolliflex. I've wanted to try medium format for ages, and this one uses readily available film and the camera itself is soooo pretty. I couldn't resist. It's a little battered and a little post-purchase research shows that I may have paid a smidge too much for it, but only a smidge. But I don't care! I got three compliments from random people just on the way home telling me they've owned one and loved it/did it still work and that it was beautiful! So I'm going to take that as approval, it's also lessened my post-purchase guilt somewhat. I've been sitting at home since just itching to go try it out, but unfortunately I hadn't any film. So tomorrow I'll be taking a hike into Bromley and buying a truck load to run around with. I can't wait!

On another note, I'm going to Northern Ireland on Tuesday to attend Givens fathers wedding and to meet the family in general. I'm very nervous, but trying to put it to the back of my mind! Hopefully the trip will be a good opportunity for taking some photographs, especially if we get time to visit the Giants Causeway. I'm muchly looking forward to it!

Also, I apologise for non-comments! I watch so many people these days and sort through deviations so infrequently that they build up and build up.
