MY FIRST CAMERA : A GOLDEN MINOLTA

i have had it in a box for years and always known it was there but never used it.
i got it when i was little. not sure what age. defo pe-teens.

so i loaded it with cheap colour film (kodacolor 400)

and i have been carrying it around everywhere for the last week or so.

i have tons of goodens but here are some of my favorite.

me with my head under a oldschool large format monorail camera.

don't i look like a real photographer or what?

this is what i love about basic cameras.

the automatic flash. the auto focus. the colour.

(i need longer arms to focus my face!)

Claire n. and i walked over to flushing beach.

is it artwork? or the remains of a house!

THE DEATH OF FILM IS COMING.

BUT CAN IT WAIT 'TILL AFTER I DIE.

PLEASE.

i went to a liquid light workshop last week.

we were told to bring surfaces to print on and negatives. that's all.

i knew nothing about liquid light before this class,

apart from that it is an alternative way of printing.

I LOVE IT.

i have put up on here some of the prints on different papers.

PS.By the way.

liquid light is a liquid solution that you heat up and paint onto a surface then dry and print onto as you would normally print. it is used for getting a more hand made look and you are able to print on more that just flat photo paper.

cos i realised i didn't actually tell you what it was.

can i have this? it's in the best colour.
