A sudden impulse to take photos, luckily polaroid films were in reaching distance. A little bit of a still life theme. For the love of pancakes, books and coffee.
After discovering I could brew my own filtered coffee, I’ve taken on a new found respect for different types of coffee beans and brewing methods. I’ve started out brewing with a 3 cup Chemex, which was a really beautiful flask to look at but a hassle to clean each time. So I invested in a little 1 cup Hario pour over (pictured below), the best little investment I’ve made in a while. It’s so small and versatile, totally easy to clean and now I can brew my coffee quickly and easily everywhere I go
Reading has been on the agenda for the last few months, the book worm in me has emerged. This all started when I picked up “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and “The Kite Runner” a few months back (which are SUCH good books if you have not read them yet), since then I’ve been spending every spare moment reading. I remember the last time I was this addicted to reading was in high school, an entire day would be spent reading novels, but when uni started and work came along, I think I started to dislike reading because of the vast amount of technical information I had to read and absorb for work. Even to this day I really dislike reading stuff like manuals, especially camera manuals!
Anyways, I used the FP-100C polaroid film to take these photos, with a 21mm extension tube strapped onto the hassy. I like to use the extension tube to get closer to the subject, it especially helps when you’ve got a 80mm lens, but I have to say it’s a little pain because I ended up jamming my lens onto the hassy body AGAIN! Ok, partly my fault when removing the extension tube, but I wonder if it’s just better to use a close up filter, less hassles maybe.
