Vampire Grove

Vampire Gr, No Exit, New Zealand, 2010: Yeah, there really is a street called “Vampire Grove” in NZ… Thankfully its probably named after the Vampire aircraft that used to based at the nearby Air-force Aerodrome Canon EOS 30D/Pentacon Auto 50 1.8

Altix

Wellington, New Zealand, 2008: Another semi self-portrait shot on the very small and quirky Altix. I’ve got into this habit of shooting a self-portrait, for the simple reason that when I eventually get the film developed, I can confirm what camera I shot it on.

Manufactured by the Great Wall Plastic Factory of Kowloon (Hong Kong) during the 60’s and 70’s, most cameras were exported to the UK and USA, where they were usually given away as an inexpensive novelty gift.
