film diary: ode to tlr users

Bless Vivian Maier and those skilled with a twin lens reflex. These are some of the less shaky photographs taken with a Spartus Fullvue. I know that first one is very shaky, yet there were worse. I'm not going to give up on this camera. I know I can stand perfectly still in order to take a more steady picture. It's also strange not to hold the viewer up to my face. Argh! It seems I am doing a batch of film a month (4 or 5 rolls each time) so I hope to finish this current roll in the Spartus Fullvue, which will be color.

A while ago, I mentioned that I got a couple of found cameras from my mom. I took some 120 film and went for a walk. I love where I get my prints processed because they always say,"It could take up to two weeks." It never takes two weeks. It's usually one week and time flies so quickly that I hardly notice before they call. I'm pretty satisfied with the results, although now I know that I have to really stabilize this camera or else things tend to be blurry.
