Cameras

I have loads of cameras now. I only have one digital camera, which I use for the important shots. However, I think digital photography is a lot like a Ford Mondeo: reliable, predictable, dependable, versatile, and utterly boring. This is why I have so many film cameras. They’re fun.

I usually use my DSLR when I need the results quickly. Otherwise, I shoot film. The Mamiya, the Horseman and the Canon 35mm SLRs are reliable workhorses, but the rest are more unpredictable, and reserved for experimentation and fun. All of these cameras are in full working order. I don’t want a boring museum – I want a collection of cameras I can use.
