Oh Snap!

I'm so excited!! I came home the other day and my wonderful girlfriend bought me some new film for my Minolta. It's Kodak's BW400CN, a 35mm black & white film. I'll start shooting sometime this weekend. I can't wait! I also have 2 rolls of film that I need to get developed and posted online... stay tuned :D

My first two rolls

So after shooting a roll with my 50mm lens and another with my 70mm - 210mm zoom lens, these are collages of my photos...





So what do you think??? Leave comments!

You have a what???

1981 Minolta XG-M 35mm film camera! That's right, this camera is older than I am. Now that I know that it works and know more about the camera, I decided to buy two more lenses for it. I have a total of three lenses:

• Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm 1: 1.7
• Minolta MD Minolta Celtic 28mm 1 :2.8
• Minolta MD Zoom 70 - 210mm 1:4

My Minolta XG-M with MD Zoom 70 - 210mm 1:4 lense

So it begins...

About a month ago, my interests in photography were sparked again and I started looking into getting a camera. Of course I didn't have the means ($$$) to by a new camera but I looked anyway. After much looking, I decided on getting the Fuji FinePix S1800. It is a really good camera that takes amazing photos. It's a step down from a dSLR, which I knew would be too much for me. So I devised a plan to save up money and buy it... but then I remembered...

A couple years back, my mom bought a camera from the classifieds and didn't know how to use it. I couldn't help her out with the camera because it was super old and not digital. She packed it up somewhere and never pulled it out again. So I called her up at worked and asked her if she still knew where it was. Long story short, I found the camera in a Ziploc freezer bag tucked away in a drawer...

Now I've this old camera that I know nothing about or even that it worked. After much research, and some batteries, I got the camera to work... or so I thought. Since the camera isn't digital, I had to buy film, shoot the whole roll, and get it developed...

Well here's one of the first shots I took:
