Portrait of a (bigger) camera

Another couple of lockdown camera portraits, this time my Fujica GW690. It’s a bit of a big beastie!

I’ve just got back from a run – my Couch to 5K journey began afresh this week now my calf is mostly better – and am feeling good about myself as a result of the exercise (such as is with week one of C25K at least!), and I can now hopefully have a relaxed Saturday evening and Sunday with no real plans other than catching up on some TV, maybe read for a while, and hopefully develop a roll of film to keep the blog fed with fresh pictures. 🙂

Portrait of a camera

Lockdown limitations mean I can’t go out to all the places I’d like and, while I intend to make the most of my closer surroundings, it also means I’m going to fall back on making pictures around the house as well sometimes. Old cameras, such as my Zeiss folder, make good subjects though.
