i just fixed a camera from around the 1970’s that i bought at a church yard sale for $1.

by fixed i mean put new batteries into it.

its a 35 mm SLR that came with 4 lenses, a regular 50 mm one with no zoom for portraits and such, one that has a fixed zoom at 135 mm, a macro 28 mm wide angle lens, and one that zooms from 80-200 mm. its a KSX super from sears. i don’t think i’ve been this excited since i rode a bike for the first time. everything is in perfect condition.

also, my great aunt was here when i revived it and she used to teach photography so she taught me a lot of the basics that i had no idea about.

vernacularvibes: 5/13/12 and my mom wouldnt let me get it unless i agreed to shave my armpits for the occasion. the dress is worth it. it will grow back. i secretly agreed that it would look better. but shit, i wouldnt have done it if i new how much it was going to burn and sting for days afterwards! im not that vain.

vernacularvibes: 5/12/12 bobby is an amazing woman, and miracles have brought us together. i met bobby around november of 2011. i saw her again a couple of days before christmas, and we talked for approximately an hour and a half. during that conversation she told me she liked my ladybug earrings and i told her i would get her a pair next time i saw some.  every time i went to a store i checked for lady bug earrings.  i finally found some on may 12, 2012, and i bought them without hesitation. keep in mind, i hadnt seen bobby since last december, and that day was also the day i saw her again. the day i found the earrings i found her. how can that be a coincidence when ive been looking for both for months??
vernacularvibes: 5/12/12 this is bobby
