“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” ~ Cecile Beaton
Welcome, dear bargain hunter!
Our style feature this week is focused on thrifting, the dos and don’ts that’ll help you be chic on a budget.
Thrift find: leopard print belt and high waist white jeans.
Price:R5 (belt), R10 (jeans).
DO:Mix an old school item with a more modern item. This is the easiest way to add your personal touch to your thrifted item.
DON’T:Be afraid to break all of the rules! Two types of patterns? Mix ‘em! Wanna wear two types of whites? Do it! ;)
Pocket Noir. Perfect Art Deco compact folding viewfinder for silent street photography.
Kodak Flash Bantam. Introduced in 1947 by Eastman Kodak U.S.A.
Features a 48mm f/4.5 coated lens. Takes 828 film or converted 35mm. All of the focusing is done by eyeing distances (scale-focus) similar to zone focusing.
I find a few of the Bantam series models at antique shops around the country. From my experience they go for around $40-60 in stores, but can be found at lower cost on internet auction sites.
This beautiful machine does not rely on electronics or batteries; lending to it’s years of reliable use.
Grab a light meter, your trench coat and maybe, for a moment, you will find yourself on a foggy street in 1947.
