Before I went to Japan I bought a Kodak Ektar H35 camera, which is a fun little film camera that takes half frame photos. I love using film cameras and the excitement of not really knowing how the photos are going to turn out, but I end up not knowing what to do with the actual photographs. So I like the idea of half frame because it makes the prints a more managable size and I can then cut them in half and stick them in my journal. It also makes a roll of film last twice as long - I got 84 shots out of this one reel, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's nice not feeling limited, but it's a pain when you want your vacation photos already! I've seen a lot of people with this camera be really precise with their photos and try and get them matching on each side of the print, but I like the randomness. I assure you any that do match were purely by accident and dumb luck.
