Camera love

Old cameras just have something special about them, an aura of adventure, when a roll of film had space for 8 pictures and you had to really think about what you wanted to take a photograph of, and how. And they look so pretty.

I bought this cheap little Delmonta twin lens camera last summer in London, mainly because I just wanted to have one of those old things to put on display in my bookshelf. It is in perfect working condition, though, and I also bought two rolls of film (b&w of course, even though they also come in colour) for it to try it out one day. The cable releaser is not really necessary, but I think it just looks so lovely.
