The Ones

As many of you know, I was out of town recently. And naturally, there were various tasks I was required to accomplish.

Firstly, take some photos. You know I did that because some of them have been posted here.

Secondly, buy a book or two. I did that too. I didn't buy it cos I really wanted it, but because it added to my library of contemporary NZ photography. It was this book. Enough said.

Thirdly, I had to get a new/old camera. I did that too. In Wanganui I met up with my mate Matt Couper and he took me to the secondhand shop across from his studio. They had a little camera there. I picked it up, was about to ask how much it would be and prepare to hand over my $2, when the women running the place said "just stick it in your pocket love." So I did.

Here's a photo of it.

Here's some more information on it - well there would be, but it's such a collectable camera that there doesn't appear to be any info on the web.

Here's a photo from it. A driveby heading north along the Desert Road. From a nice little $250,000 car.

And another photo.

And another. This one was at the car location out of Hamilton. Nice.
