NOAH

Here is my (WIP) collection of cameras, old and new! I will be frank, if you asked me the differences between each one, why I bought them or which one I'd recommend, I could not tell you. While I do photography for a living, I would say my skills are mostly in the "feeling" category. I just feel them out and if I like them I like them. I think it's okay to be casual about your hobbies, and even casual about your profession. It's what keeps me happy. I save my memory space for other things, like niche trivia about textiles and memorizing pantone colors.

ABOUT
This one was a steal. Do I know if it works yet? Unfortunately, no. But it's so lightweight and compact (and cute!), I don't mind if I lost $15 on this. I have a roll of film inside, so we'll see if anything develops...

Olympus OM-1


m. 1972 — 1988

ABOUT
I got really into checking eBay for cheap used cameras in 2017, and tried my hand at bidding for some. It didn't come with a lens like my Asahi SP did, but it really is in beautiful condition. I'll be honest, I haven't used it once yet, but I'm hoping to change that soon. I feel bad that it's been sitting on my shelf for so long...

ABOUT
I got really into checking eBay for cheap used cameras in 2017, and tried my hand at bidding for some. This one has been my most-used film camera, and I love it dearly. There's a lot I want to do, like proper research and assessing its functions, but so far I've been having a blast taking it around. It sure is heavy, though.

ABOUT
I wanted a full-size polaroid camera, but I ended up getting the mini for it's compactness and affordability (and cuteness). The mini prints have grown on me, and I had a lot of fun taking it around cons. Most of the people I knew had one, and it was a great way to make memories! Thinking back on them makes me want to take it out again, so I'll try to on my next friend trip.
