Bought a roll of this film off the advice of Sam Muller and have to say it’s now my favorite super saturated slide film. I like it more then Fuji Velvia because it’s easier to scan and has much better skin tones. I shot a few frames at Big Blue with Alex, two portraits of Olivia Arden, and tried out a double exposure with her also.

Olivia Arden Loves Nonsense
O my fish in the sky, shoes on the ceiling and trees walking by, bending down high, reaching up low. Everything seems to be wrong, right?
While most people might think fish in the sky and trees walking by are wrong, Olivia Arden does not. She loves ridiculousness and seeing the most peculiar things. She was really upset while the photographs were being taken that she could not see a girl with balloons on a roof herself.

Contax IIIa
When my grandfather passed away this winter I received all of his camera gear, and one of the items was a well preserved Contax IIIa Camera with the original leather case. The camera itself looks beautiful, the metal still has a bright shine, and the leather case is in perfect condition. After doings some google searches I found a user manual for the camera and loaded in my first and probably last roll of film threw it.
The manual did not explain the controls of the camera very well and after using some WD-40 to loosen up some of the dials and some playing around with it I was able to figure the controls out. The few features I did like were the built-in photoelectric exposer meter, F/2-F/22 Lens, timer mode, bulb mode, and the 1/1250 shutter speed. The features I did not like was the max film speed that could be used with the in camera meter was 400 ASA, weight of the camera, and the lens. The lens is a 50 mm I believe and it was just never what I wanted for the situation I was shooting.
Overall the camera is not going to be one I take out very often, and will probably sit on my shelf as a collector item. Below is a photo of the camera along with a few of the photos I shot with it.

I steal Polaroids
Olivia has a polaroid camera but refuses to ever use it. Last night I took it from her and snapped off three photos before she could rip it out of my hands. I now owe her $6 for wasted polaroids even though she has about 50 or so on her wall in her room.
