Hi, my name is Allison. 

I've been into photography all my life, well for as long as i can remember. I never really pursued it, decided to fix that. I have a love for Film Cameras and digital just doesn't really spark joy in me. i have had so many digital cameras and the novelty of instant gratification wears off fast. i love the chalenge and the unknown of film, did it turn out? will look how i think when i get the prints back? it all adds to the charm of a film camera. 

I've been looking for a decent 35mm camera for awhile and i found one today, a Zorki-4K its in good shape and seems fully functional. from the little bit of reading i've done this camera was made somewhere between 1956 and 1978, its ~600 grams not a light camera, reminds me of the camera a friend carried in the US Army during Vietnam. 

Anyway, looking forward to learning here and learning about film photography. its been so long i'm starting from Zero here, but its another skill to learn and that is exciting i love learning.
