These are great-
very good-

I don’t know the Canon,
(before my time :wink: )
is it an slr?

I remember they had a high speed slr, in the seventies,
I think, that used a fixed pellicle instead of a full mirror-
Maybe unrelated-

The matchbox ones are great,
though a bigger matchbox might be nice too-
Love the frame and the rough rebates-
as individual as any fingerprint-

Good stuff-

Thanks J – you’re dead right on on the camera as well

It’s a great camera but as you can see for the shot it is starting to show it’s ages. Still I’m not
sure I would like it as much were it perfect.

We actually intentionally made the edges rought to add the individuality to the shots.
really good fun making them as well. even better on a lazy sunday evening.
I’d really recommend it to everyone just for the laugh.

The first one caught my eye for the picture of the boat on the wall, looks like the Plassey on the Aran Islands. I also like your portrait and the car shot.
