The big scenario would be going on a bike tour or backpacking trip.ĭespite having another camera, I’ve done pretty much all my tour photography with my smartphone over the past couple years. But I started to think of scenarios where another film camera would be a good idea. Well, there’s no real logical reason, as one “real” camera plus iPhone should suffice. And the photos I got back were good, too. It is a beautiful machine, a quality range finder with manual control, the camera that’d hopefully help me on my journey into rediscovering film and to becoming a better photographer. I got the Minolta Hi-Matic 7s in my hands on January 9th. You’d think the last thing I should do is buy a bike, let alone two.) (And this was when I was getting the idea of the cross-country trip, yeesh.
In November of 2010 I bought a Worksman Low-Gravity Bike, then a month later obtained my Raleigh Wayfarer three-speed.
I don’t get one of something, I’ll get two. It follows the pattern: When I get into something, I get into something.
