There ain't much to say about this one. It's a light. I had to replace it, 'cos we couldn't turn it on tonight. Unlike Roxanne, who could, but didn't have to. Which reminds me, what is up with people who give their dogs names like "Bubbles" and "Pookie"? You need to be able to shout you dog's name on the beach and sound like you mean it. That's why my dog will be called Roxanne and I will practice shouting with gravel in my throught like the guy in Moulin Rouge.

I don’t have anything very exciting to show for my matchbox pinhole camera. This one immediately reminded me of Nicéphore Niépce’s ”La cour du domaine du Gras”, or ”View from the Window at Le Gras” for us English swine. The only difference being, mine is about as revolutionary as a Che Guevara T-shirt.

I’m not sure whether it’s just because I know what it is that I can see what it is though. Can anyone else make it out?

Well, yesterday i got the film from this, my first matchbox pinhole camera, developed. As far as I can make out by squinting through the negative into the light, the results were truly underwhelming, but I will scan them in soon and share anything interesting. I will definitely be trying again though, there something about experimenting with cheap stuff that brings the fun right back into photography.
