Vintage Fun
Found this in the downstairs closet:
Agfa Ambi Silette. 35mm film. It has a changeable f2.8, 50mm lens. It uses a viewfinder, but the rangefinder to focus is broken and only shows focus at about 1 meter, so focusing is blind other than at 1 meter.
Anyway, gonna go find some 35mm film and try this out… So in a month I will be able to shoot film with Soul Bee.
it’s always so much fun to see my generation acquiring film photography as a hobby. i just got into it myself, and it’s such an amazing process… if you’ve never developed your own print(s) before, it’s something you need to do before you get too old and your eye sight is subpar.
while we’re on the subject, one of my photography professors predicts that there will be a return to film one day. she already sees a huge backlash in the digital world - over saturation in the market. i don’t know if she’s quite right, but it’s such a wonderful thought.

2010 movies #45 - Notorious (1946, Alfred Hitchcock)
This is probably my fave hitchcock ever. It’s very solidly written, the pieces fall in place like clockwork as the tension rises steadily throughout. The love story is also uncharacteristically sexy and not at all creepy for an hitchcock movie, which is another plus in itself.
But watching this i mostly kept thinking how apparently, back in the 40s, hollywood held their audience in much higher regard than today: they actually thought everybody could follow right along with the intricacies of the spy story without unneeded exposition, flashbacks or other ridiculous gimmicks.
I mean, hitchcock was brilliant for sure, but studio heads actually trusted him to not dumb it down a lick, and people mostly loved it, sad to see that today this is no longer the case.
beautifully said! i agree 100%
