my new best friend

Meet Mami. (Said  Ma Mi, like mommy with a spanish accent)
She's been a occupant of my top left closet corner for awhile now.
(Talk about embarrassing that she's been so poorly treated).
I tried photographing with her a couple of times, but then she started getting stuck
on the sixth exposure of every roll I shot. And its not like you can just
push a button on the bottom and wind it back on a 120 roll like you can
with a 35mm camera.

So I took her to be serviced.
And they cleaned her up. And I was so excited. And I hauled her 45 minutes walking to go photograph with her.
And we get to exposure Six and what do you know... she's jammed.
SO bummed.
So I took her back. And they looked at her again.
We were reunited on friday.
And all day today I've been photographing with her.
Past exposure Six.
I'll be excited to share images later this week.

Something I love about this set up is that I have this accessory that I can use for easier holding. It has a shutter release button on the handle so its user friendly. Something I don't love about it, is that scratch you can see on my table that it causes (click image to enlarge). I want to only take this camera and one 35mm when we go on our massive, 3 week east coast up and down trip in May, but with kids I need to get used to operating this baby and composing with her.

Just thought I'd share what's going on with me. What's going on with you?
