Yep that would've been me. Shoulda said hello Charlie!

Not the best pix in the world, but full of some of the best memories of my life. I just saw a mate has some of the pix... he got copies of them off me...before I had my computer stolen.

Sunset, Squaw Valley.

Cheers for the comments ADD_Boy & DBoy

my new toy!!


the first pics from my new toy. luv the rawness, graininess and ol skool feel of the pics....

wow, the colours in those pics are lush as!!

what's with the lens on that beast? looks like it has a flash in it or something

Olympus + Zuiko = rad.

I just bought an Olympus OM-2... waiting for a Zuiko 50mm f/1.2 to pop up somewhere.





Nice colours Lob, do you scan the film yourself or at the developer?

cheers fellas!

love the OM2's Carl, been outbid on Ebay about 50 times for one of those so far.

I have my film developed straight to cd.

No flash Dan, although I have got an external flash for it.

All these pics were taken late in the afternoon on a beautiful day last week.

The colours came up a treat indeed

my dad has promised me his OM2 and said he would send like 2 months ago..... he still hasn't done it yet I might need to hurry the old bastard along a bit I reckon.

must

have

film

No shit!? I picked this up on eBay for like US$50 or something.

Holiday snaps from Palm Cove, Northern Queensland:








(Double Island...you have to rent out the whole island at something like $10-15,000 a night )












The Serenity Pool, fucking lush


I called this one the adult pool cause it was so cold no kids would dare enter


Lagoon Pool with sand, palms and more importantly, the bar




This thing was about a metre long and was just dangling in front of the Serenity Pool.


A photo of me I actually like (call Guinness, it's a world record). Than you blur.

I my om2n. Although my gf tends to spend more time with it than I so i've started looking for a black om2n on ebay usa.

What glass are you using with it?

Just the 1.8. Been looking to pick up a 1.4 but saving for my trip has stopped me from buying one on ebay thus far.
