So I went and got a new toy the other day… A Fuji Neo Classic Instax Mini camera… It has just enough functionality to make it fun 🙂 and its thin so fits in my camera bag beside Rollei 🙂
Here go a couple of results from the first pack of film 🙂

This is something I have walked past countless times over the years but this is the first time I have noticed that all the padlocks have things written on them 🙂

Did I blink and miss half of it?
Here’s to a more photographically productive year in 2014…
Happy New Year!

A couple of shots of a scrap metal yard on a Holga adapted to shoot full width 35mm film.
I actually went into the office to ask if I could go a bit more into the yard but was told I could only shoot from the gate as it was too dangerous 🙂

I finally got around to pulling apart my broken Canon Demi S half frame camera to see if I could get it back up and running. I found a repair manual online for a slightly different model of camera and started dismantling. There was a major difference unfortunatley in how the front cover came off which would have saved a lot of time and trouble but you live and learn.
I got it all back together (with no extra bits left out) with the initial problem fixed but another problem arose which meant I needed to pull it al apart again… Lets just say its a work in progress 🙂
Luckily while I was doing this I was also bidding on another one online 🙂

Last post from the GCSB protest on last weekend in Wellington.
These ones were taken on a Nikon FG20 which I bought from an Op Shop for $35. The film is also 8 years expired which gives it a bit of flaring and blocking out of the blacks.
I quite liked the effect as its not your usual super sharp, super well exposed documentary photos we are use to seeing.
