Yashica-Mat

Remember when I told you about the awesome camera my sweet boyfriend surprised me with back in August? Well we realized the shutter wasn't working and had to be sent off for repair. So when he gave it to me again all fixed up it was like getting another surprise present.
This past weekend I loaded up my first roll of film and we headed out to Sutro Baths to shoot some photos. I've been using plastic cameras this past year so it was both scary and exciting to have to think about metering the camera for each shot and I was sure they probably wouldn't come out all that well. So I'm pleasantly surprised with how they look. And more than anything I can't wait to take this beauty out and play with her some more.

The rest of the roll is here.

Thanks Angel! I love shooting with film and I am so excited to use this camera some more. It was made in 1967 - I'll bring it to the next ladies night and get us all on film!
