This is from the beginning of the millenia. I had very limited technical know-how about cameras and photography. I borrowed my mother in laws camera and lens (unknown SLR from the 70′s). Shot this on colourfilm. Some years later I scanned it. Now I have converted it to black and white in Photoshop.

I kind of like it. I think I did as good as I could with my training as a painter/artist, and if I was lucky I had used the camera right and it turned out good. Quite often though, it turned ut in many other ways ;)

My wife Sara, daydreaming?

I’ve tested the Yashica J-7 for one day in Stockholm. The camera came with Yashinon DX 50mm/1.7 (radioactive thorium-lens) so I choose that one, nice to try the kit. I used Kodak Tri-X film which had 400 ASA. These are some of my favorites from this one roll (observe that this is scaned from negative with a not to expensive scanner, result in papercopy will certainly be much sharper).

I will probably choose this camera for Epic Edits $50-dollar film camera project. That makes step 1 and 2 finished.
