So it was only a couple days ago I suddenly missed playing with a film camera. But I don't have a non-toy film camera. That was when I decided to browse around for the real thing. No I don't plan to buy one anytime soon, I can't afford it, but I can dream. And my dream is Leica M7.
Today, I stumbled upon an old interview of Coldplay's Guy Berryman. Here's the excerpt:
What sort of camera do you use?
A Leica M7. It's a film camera.
Old school!
Absolutely. You can't beat it.
Do you wait until you get home to process the films?
Yeah, I generally shoot all the way through the tour, then when we get back I'll drop all the films at the lab.
Must be quite exciting when you pick up a batch.
It is! It's like Christmas morning.
Why have you stuck with film and not moved over to digital?
Just because I believe that with digital photography you take too many shit pictures that you put no thought or effort into taking. Plus, everyone takes pictures on digital these days, so it's hard to take pictures which stand out as being different.
Am I crazy to think that we're totally made for each other? I mean, come on! I'm speechless, I just want to say "+1,000,000!"
Here's a bit more of the interview:
Will you have time for a look around?
Well, we're leaving at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to go to Vienna, so I'm going to have the morning to hit some antique shops and some book shops and pick up as much clutter as I possibly can.
Is that your standard plan when you're on tour?
It is. I bought a gramophone in Prague earlier today, as well as some photograph books by some Czech photographers. I like to try and find things that you can't get in England.
Gramophone, antique shops, film camera, books. He likes rustic things! That's.. That's just... *passes out*
On another note, will I ever have US$ 4,995 to buy that Leica?
