You’d think this photo was taken a long time ago. In fact, only the equipment used is (very) old. It’s a low quality scan of a low quality slide film exposure, with an obvious massive light leak. :) This girl was probably wondering why I was pointing a weird plastic camera at her.
The bad focus isn’t my fault either – the only controls on this camera are rudimentary aperture controls (three settings!) and manual exposure, governed by how long you hold the shutter down. The manual says the focus is always spot-on, regardless of the subject and distance. Handy, that.
so it’s not a photo of you in 1994 then?
Nah, I used to be more blond and I never had boobs, AFAIK. The sunglasses though… pretty sure I had this exact type.
Ok so come on – what is AFAIK!???
Did you develop this yourself??
I’d love to see any others that came out of that camera!

As Far As I Know. Google, woman. :)
It was developed by a local camera shop. The guy who developed them was apologetic about the quality but assured me he did his best. I didn’t show him the camera that took the photos, but that would have explained it.
I recognize that stool, from IKEA.
