As a props buyer in the film industry, you often rely on people who like to collect. For example, David from Penrith who collects vintage cigarette lighters or Brian from the Telstra Museum who can show you the exact phone Australians were holding in 1962. The photo above was taken on set today, and I wanted to share it with you for two reasons: 1. The super size* plastic camera belongs to Rob and Irene from Bowral- who have the largest collection of vintage camera equipment in the country. (Irene also has an impressive collection of Barbie cars, if anyone is interested). And 2. I want to buy the camera to hang in my home, but unfortunately it's not for sale. I might ask Irene just one more time. *Super size = over 40cm in length...it's super cute.

What a great camera. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that Irene changes her mind.

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Canada! Finding your blog has been a real inspiration! I would love to feature your Boho trees from the Real Living shoot in my little blog.Zendollworkshop.com. I'm just back from southwest Florida to enjoy the holiday season in the great white north, so my eyes are peeled for great stylings with holiday flare.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're a doll. Joy to you and your family this holiday season!
