Minnehaha Park
Glenwood grain elevators
Well I went and did it--I got a camera--a real camera. I just bought a Fuji GSW 690 III. I got it at my neighborhood photo store. I needed some photo paper and something told me to go upstairs where they keep the real cameras to see what they had. One thing led to another and before I knew it there were two GSW 690s staring me in the face, one in new condition and the other in mint. Something told me I had to get it. I got the one in mint condition. I've wanted one of these for a long time, but the price is rather high. But this was a good deal and I felt that I had to do it. I feel like good things will happen with this camera, it was almost like I was meant to get it today.
These shoot a 6x9cm negative and it has a wide angle 65mm lens--and it's a sweet lens.
I'm very excited seeing that we got our 'up north' trip next week. It's strange I realized this trip could be great for picture taking and started lamenting the fact that I didn't have a "real" camera (no offense holga users). So now I've got a good camera again. If you've never seen one it is something to behold--they're big. The Texas Leica! Anyway I'll stop slobbering on the keyboard now.
