A boy gave me an Olympus OM-1 to use a few weeks ago to replace my little Chinon which was also a gift from a boy too, go figure. Anyway, I’m going to use this camera a lot over the coming months but as I haven’t got a darkroom (yet), I’m going to have to send them off to a local specialist lab and wish for the best. That or send them to Vienna for my partner in crime to develop, but that’s just looooooong.
We ran some Kodak 125 plus-x film through the Olympus and shot on a prime 50/1.8 lens to check everything was all in order and clean etc. The negatives themselves were dirty (they were a small section of a big batch to be developed – long story) but the lens and camera are in working order now. So I just need to get my hands on a 35mm that opens up nice and wide too. Anybody fancy giving me one.. boys.. ? 
Here’s a few of images. Lol.. it seems as though we just take photographs of each other but I promise, we really don’t. It was just to run the film.
p.s. I would like to state that is was in fact Severin (http://severinkoller.at), my boyfriend, who gave me the Olympus and not that it is an almost compulsory requirement for boys to give me cameras. If only it was, I’d be a very happy lady.
Oh and how could I forget. This month’s Coffee and Cake took place on Sunday 22nd February and it was brilliant. Possibly one of the best and I can’t put my finger on why. I know live in this house, by the way, fun times indeed. This month saw Gemma Quartman and Boat to Row in the living room and there was even a singalong to Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark. It’s far too rock and roll to even comprehend. I’ll stick the videos up next week but for now, here’s some snaps taken by both myself and the delectable Severinaroony Koller.
This whole blog thing is getting there slowly but surely, maybe next time I will have something worthwhile to say, eh? Probably not though..
