The winner of the giveaway is…

 

Someone won this instamatic 33….

I know I’m late, but I had some stuff going on and wasn't able to blog. But no worries, I counted your tweets, wrote down names and put them in the hat again… I was thinking, I want to do more giveaways in the future, but picking a winner like this is not working for me if there are like 30 people entering. Does anybody have a good tip on how to make it simple picking a winner? It’s just so messy when I do it like this. Writing down all the names and then writing down the name again if they have tweeted. Anyone? Help?

So….. Who is the winner of this giveaway?

 

 

Congratulations Sean Brown! Your Kodak instamatic 33 is coming your way! You’ll get an email soon!

Haven’t won this time? NO WORRIES! Then next giveaway is at 200 followers!

Analogue #7 The Kodak six-20 Brownie’D

Here another analogue camera to show you guys! This time the Kodak Six-20 Brownie model D.

This lovely camera was introduced in 1946 and stopped production in 1957. The production of this camera is separated in two different ones. From 1946 ùntil 1953 the camera had a plain matt enamel front, a metal winding knob, and a metal shutter release button. From 1953 until 1957 the camera changed to a horizontally striped design, plastic winding knob, and a plastic shutter release button. It also included a 2-pin flash contact.

I have got the old version of the Kodak, but the newer version looks like this:

The Kodak Brownie models where a series of box cameras that where produced in the UK for more than 20 years. They are one of the most indestructible cameras I know. I have read it is because of the heavy duty metal that is used in these cameras.

This camera uses 620 film. It isn’t produced anymore.

I was thinking, I get a lot of questions about how much a camera costs so from now on, I am going to tell you guys the value of the camera. Though, I don’t know it from every camera. This Kodak is estimated  a value of 10 to 40 dollars, depending on the state it’s in.

 

That was this weeks Analogue camera! Have fun buying one yourself! And if you have any question just ask me!

Analogue #2 Kodak ektralite 600

So, as promised, here is the next analogue camera post. This time it is the kodak ektralite, a 110 mm camera. This one is a bit different. Probably less ‘eye candy’ for those who like the old leather and the big lenses. Though, this one is pretty awesome! I had bought the Kodak in a thrift shop. It wasn’t the local one, I can’t remember which one it was. It is pretty much indestructible because of the hard plastic cap.
So here it is:


 


Its ideal to put in a big bag when you go camping or something. It just wont break! The lenses are protected when the camera is closed. This camera was introduced in 1980 and stopped producing in 1982. back in the days, this camera would cost you 67 dollar, I bought it for 80 cents. (hahaha) It has 2 lenses, one normal lens, and one tele-lens. I made a lot of vacation pictures with this camera and I LOVE the vintage affects it gives.
Another funny thing, the photos from this camera are a little more square-ish than a normal picture. Love that!! Here is an example:





compared to the usual size:





My kodak actually still has the name of the first owner of the camera in it! It says "C.J. De Jage’! Tried to look up  a picture of the person, couldn’t find it… would have been pretty awesome if I knw what the person looks like.
I’m planning on painting mine orange! I’ll post about that when I actually did…
So here, for the fun, the original commercial:

If you want to buy this camera, you would have to look at eBay, there are literally hundreds of them on there. You can buy the 110 mm film on the lomography store, just click HERE.
So that was the 2nd camera of my collection. If you want to ask anything you can comment!

Exams coming up!

Today I officially, seriously started learning for my exams. My first exam’s are in two weeks! I just finished learning about 29 pages of social sciences, which is a lot of work! But I hope It’s all in my head now! Still got about 120 pages to go in two weeks.. And art history, which I like a lot more since it’s about pop art! But still, a lot. Between those two subjects I just had to go outside and get some fresh air. The weather is really good right now. I picked up the dog at my grandmas house, took the camera and my music with me, and went for a little walk. It’s so pretty outside!

Different subject:

About yesterday, my family was here for my birthday! Had a lot of fun! Got a few pretty awesome presents too!

I got this old camera from my grandparents! LOVE THEM!

 

And these I got from my aunt and uncle.

Even my niece had made me a little arty present! (she is nine)

My other aunt an uncle had gave me this awesome old book. It is a register of the art that was in the museum of Amsterdam in 1892 (the book is from 1892!!!!) It has 120 heliogravures.

And my boyfriend gave me something too! SO SWEET!

Thrift shop Tuesday.

So I finally had a chance to go to the thrift shop today. This time in one I’ve never been before. I was in “Weesp” today with my friend Koen. Koen bought me an awesome analogue camera, which I’m definitely going to use sometime. This camera is a 135 mm camera from 1959.  So here it is!


And of course, I couldn’t resist the temptation to buy myself another one. This one was only 3,50 euros! It’s SO little and cute! This one is a 127mm camera from 1953. If you know how to get 127mm film, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!

So that was a real quick update for today.
