Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these
figures do they think they have learned anything about him.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Have you ever heard of a Smena? A Smena 8m, in fact? If not, allow me to tell you that it is a Soviet-made camera, and I have one. It's loaded with a roll of redscale film (ie the emulsion is wrong side up, so it takes the picture through the back of the film, tinting it with all shades of fiery color) As soon as I am done shooting it, and it's been developed, I will have a gallery up! I am unbelievably excited for this. I am usually happy with my point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix, so the lack of instant gratification with this one is a little challenging for me.. wish me luck..
