my first camera !! it was also my first time buying something off facebook marketplace (which can be a bit sketchy around here), so i’m really glad i didn’t get scammed lol.
I have a lotttt of really good thrift finds... but price wise, this is the one. It actually didn’t have a price tag at first and usually the store policy is they cannot sell it if there’s no price tag, so I went to the miscellaneous section to find a reasonable price sticker and found a $12 item and removed the tag from it and placed it on to this camera😭 I looked up the price when I got home and they were selling these for $100-$250 on ebay.
i've always wanted to tote around a camera with me with the intention of taking more pictures. for awhile that was my grandma's vintage kodak cameo, but then developing film became so much more expensive and i stopped. i didn't necessarily want a 2000s digital camera because having screens to look at in a camera makes me feel unecessarily judgy of myself? 😭 i found out about this by accident through an ad on reddit and i was really taken in by it having the uncomplicated energy of a film camera but the convenience/cost saving of digital cameras. i've had this for about 3 months and i love it. i actually remember to snap quick photos but i'm not staring at the screen contemplating whether or not my teeth look weird. it's sturdy too! my clumsy self has dropped it in my rocky backyard.
this website maps queer life across the world. i keep coming back to it, especially for the stories shared by people from small countries like mine—places where LGBTIQ+ rights aren’t guaranteed at all, but where there’s so much to say about our experiences.
