PENTAX ME SUPER

>
My grandpa passed away 11 years ago, and so i would have only been ten. Of course, old enough for ample memories of my grandpa. Amongst trips to the park in his maroon metro and birthday parties at my grandparents house, the underlying main memory is his use of his cameras. I wouldn't have taken much notice at the time of him taking photos of me, but i know he was a keen snapper. Fast forward 11 years and now i thoroughly enjoy taking photos, not that i am particualy skilled in this field i may add, but I feel to an extent that I am now passed on with the photo-geek-gene baton! Which i am very happy about. It never struck me until the last month to actually chase up what happened to his cameras. My uncle passed on my grandpa's camera bag and it is quite the gold mine. The bag includes an expired film from '94, unused. 2 flashes, another japanese camera, some books, cable releases etc. It's all very exciting. So I have put a film through it, and here is the result. Unfortunately grainy and underexposed in some cases, i think potentially a result of not having batteries in the camera which power the light sensor LED thingy. But I am still fond of these photos :)

Tuesday 15th of September and Frankie has had some pretty flowers slapped onto her thigh via Jamie Greaves! They are lovely.





Me and Tom raced up to Leeds one sunday morning to see diego and Tom got some more shading done on his arm. I got to meet Salvador who made me want a baby, right there and then! Cute doesn't quite do him justice :)





On August 13th Me and Frank headed to Essex for me to get some roses on my feet from tiny miss becca. It was fun and painful too, ( this photo captures the water retention that shortly followed, quite perfectly i feel... pregnant lady ankles! ). The shop was a beaut!! I'd like to go back one daayy.
