Today I visited my parents and I found my dad’s 40 years old Praktica LLC camera he gave me many years ago as a gift. Soon I bought my first digital photo-camera and limitations caused by the 35mm film sent Praktica to oblivion. More than 10 years later I opened heavy-dusty leather-plastic pouch and found a beautiful photo-camera with a lens and a big piece of our family’s history firmly transferred onto its ground glass. I felt tempted and I decided to buy a bunch of films and give it a try after all these digital years. Inspired by all these iphone apps imitating the chemical look of old photo prints I expect Praktica to bring some more character to my pictures. And some more photo skills too as it is not as idiot-proof as my Nikon D80. But it is way more beautiful and solid.
