My new girlfriend

Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce you all to my new girlfriend. Happy day! =) I lost my car but I got a new (actually it's quite old) camera! so I guess that makes up for it... kinda... haha. Anyways I can't wait to pick up some film and start shooting away. I was able to pick up this Canon AE-1 for $75, which to me is quite a deal. If you look online, this camera can go up to $200-$300 for a mint condition one. I met up with a guy who buys and sells these old film camera's to colleges for photo students, and he services and cleans all the cameras. He brought out at least 6 or 7 of the same camera to show me and for me to choose which was great, because as some of you know I'm kind of weird when it comes to buying stuff, cause I have to compare it with the same thing and inspect it to make sure I'm getting the best one.. a little OCD? I don't know... whatevers though because it makes me happy =) Anyways I chose the best one he had, which was in really really good conditon... 1 to 10, I'd say it's a 10... considering the fact that this camera came out in 1976 and is still in such good shape. This totally made up for my shitty week =)





I guess I have 2 girlfriends now =P
