Day 49/365 - Golden Half Love

I love playing around with this little thing. And I really can’t wait to finish the first film so I can get it developed!

The tumblr blog you can see in the background (dedicated to the Golden Half) is here.

Day 35/365 - Made in Japan

The under side of my Dad’s Olympus OM10. I thought I’d get a picture of the good old days when everything wasn’t made in China.

Even my Golden Half (by Japanese brand SuperHeadz) is made in China!

I know this is primarily supposed to be my Project 365 blog but I can post other stuff too, right? Anyway I can’t keep this in any longer. And so I present to the world- my new camera. The Golden Half. I have always been in love with toy cameras & wanted to get one for the longest time- first I wanted a Diana but somehow I didn’t like it after a bit of research. I like this one so much better! Well I don’t have it yet, it’s in *transit*. On it’s way to me. I chose telepathy.

I am just so freakin’ excited about it. More than I can write. The last time I was this excited was probably while I was getting my MacBook Pro.

Some general info- (Random facts about it that I remember at the moment)

1. It’s a 35mm camera. You remember 35mm film? Before the onset of digital that’s what we used in our cameras!
2. It’s a split cam- two photos per exposure. Do a flickr search to see awesome examples.
3. It’s Japanese. Fuck yeah!
4. The lens is plastic. No zoom. Fixed focus. Two apertures.
5. It doesn’t have a flash, but it does have a hotshoe. I don’t intend on using one, though.

I keep searching Google Images, Tumblr & Flickr to look at pictures *taken with* & *of* this camera. And I make mom look at almost every picture. She’s probably sick of the camera already!

Yeah. Is this what love feels like?
