through the lens . . .


oh wise and benevolent
all seeing*
op shop gods
thank you
for my quiver
of new lenses

hands down
the most perfect
and exciting
thrifting find
in all my many years
of treasure hunting

this box of old school
mint condition camera accessories
{perfectly matched to my pentax
for a grand sum of $5}
has me switching over to manual mode
and learning so much

: :

*i purchased a 50mm lens
on ebay a few months back
and it never showed




the golden web


macro mania


mess


the crack of dawn
{up early with a sick girl}


my sick girl


my snotty {nosed} knotty {haired} boy


enjoy your weekend

  8. Brilliant, brilliant score. What's the camera? I have a Pentax Spotmatic, which takes screw-mount lenses. They're hard to find and almost impossible to buy new. Nay, impossible.
