camera memory

bit of a cheat this - but today is so groggy, what the heck.

This is one of the final pictures taken, in April last year, with my beloved old Petri SLR. I bought it for £20 from Oxfam, 10 years ago, by which time it had already had around 30 years service. At the end of this film, the camera gave up, and refused to wind-on.

It's extremely heavy, and entirely manual, the pictures were usually badly exposed and often not quite in focus (my fault, not the camera's) - but somehow the camera seemed capable of magic, and it was very satisfying to use, the lens was incredible (and the reason why the camera was so heavy!)

This is a photo of money plants, lined up hopefully on the window of my dad's old workshop.
