Charlotte Makes Photos

A girl and her cameras 💜

As part of a strength-building programme, Kathleen began taking aquafit classes on Sunday mornings at the local YMCA. They’re held about when we’d normally go on our little Sunday walky-boo for groceries and other goods, so from here on out, I’ll just head out on my own! ☺️

Even after all of our activity on Saturday, we weren’t finished for the weekend, so Sunday morning and afternoon were more for errands, chores, and self-care. The evening would be another edition of Beats and (Art) Books.

You might have noticed that I did not continue to use the Kodak Retina and finished the roll in another camera. The main reason is that I didn’t trust that I could focus properly with the camera, since it’s all scale focusing. The other reason? It was cold and I’m getting into Raynaud’s season, so fiddling too much with a very cold camera is unpleasant and frustrating.

It’s unlikely be too long before you see the F80 used much more often because of it.
