Hi guys!

I’ve just seen your request for pictures of ‘cameras and books’ and as I love both, I’ve already used some of my favourite books in 'profile’ shots of the cameras I use for my work so I thought I’d share a couple with you. :)

• 'Josie’ - my Ensign Ful-vue with an illustration from my favourite children’s book, Enid Blyton’s The Treasure Hunters. This went out of print years ago unfortunately and I had always been a little bit jealous of my friend having a copy, so it was amazing when I finally found one in a charity shop 20 years later!

• 'Bob’ - my Kodak Box Brownie with an old copy of Heidi lent to me by a different friend. Just a fantastic book that really makes you appreciate the simple joys in life in a whole new way.

• 'Sidney’ - my Bencini Comet 5 with a travel edition of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. This was the first camera I found in a charity shop. The whole front was pretty dented and I couldn’t change the focal distance. A bit of TLC and some WD40 later and I got it working again. From then on, I was hooked and decided to set up Little Vintage Photography!

I love your site and it’s awesome to have found such a community of fellow analogue appreciators. Thanks for keeping the love alive!
