Have I mentioned how much I love the dreamlike juxtapositions the half-frame camera creates? Diptychs forever! This one gives such a string sense of place - 2 images to say, this is what it's like here. There's no way to know which two images are going to end up on one frame (if there is don't tell me) and i love that uncertainty and bit of random chance. Several more from this roll on my Instagram

Things I learned from this year's #CrappyCommieCameraParty installment of the #ShittyCameraChallenge:

- How a camera can be full-featured and capable (for its day) and shitty at the same time.
- How a shutter speed dial can be as quirky and temperamental as a manual transmission.
- How to make a cold shoe incompatible with shoe-mounted light meters.
- How to design a film take-up spool with a "claw of death".
- The difference between 39 mm x 26 tpi and 39 mm x 1 mm lens mount threads.
