Hello and good Monday,
my Monday started with very burnt toasts for breakfast and cold coffee, but never mind.
Last week(vintage)finding is a camera: a Zenit 11.
I found it rummaging in the local antique shop for £8 and I decided to buy it just to experiment a bit more with film.
It has no lenses and no manual but I'm bidding on them, that's why I burnt the bread this morning ;)
I used to be a photographer for an Italian skateboard magazine which is very defunct now, but that was long, long time ago almost like in another life.

Cool camera and so cool your photos from another life:-)
Ohhh it looks so beautiful! x hivenn
@ Severine, thank you!
What a beautiful find! I've burnt many a piece of toast bidding on things, so I feel your pain! Hope you have a great week.
Incroyable ! Tu es une vraie pro du skate, les photos sont géniales :)Tu en fais toujours ?
Bon, et pour toutes les belles photos à venir avec ce nouveau russian ZENIT, cela vaut bien un petit déjeuner râté ;)
Bonne semaine.

wow!!!!

C SATHAL, at that time there were only 3 or 4 skatergirls in Italy, so I guess with little competion I can call myself a pro, these days more the granny of new generation! thank goodness things are changed now there are many more skatergirls in Italy and not only Betties!
Occasionally I did some skate while I lived in London but mainly I use a scooter now...ahhh sad isn't it? Merci, I hope the russian toy will work just fine!
did you get the lenses and manual you were bidding on...? :)
Kristina, not yet...using ebay tactics ;) finger crossed.
great photos!
I am so proud to know a cool skatergirl; almoust makes me feel a bit cool too.
When I saw your "pellicola" pictures, I began thinking about dustying off my old Nikon. I looooved that camera so much, and now, poor thing... it's dismissed.
I believe your Zenit will bring us all much joy!
<3<3<3
fingers crossed for your lens! :)
thanks for your comments.
i can really see how sicily could get under your skin. we had such a memorable trip there.
do you go back often?
Merci Sophie :)
Lilli, I was more a nerdy skatergirl than cool, trust me.Ah the Nikon, my next hunt it's for one of those (SLR digital too!)
Mary, sadly no, only on vacation sometimes, my dad left Sicily when he was very young and his family moved to Genova, we often-ish go back there, it's our native town.
I won the lenses and the manual, now I hope not to get disappointed with my purchase (especially the lenses since I can use them with other cameras). thanks :)
