art trade

[ushio]

after the acquisition of a digital camera, film starts to look like a quaint expensive investment. nor can you eat it, yet i have hopefully kept a large bag of it in a refrigerator drawer for years. finally the fridge real estate looked more useful than the film. i wrote it up on the 'free' page of craigslist, and offered to exchange it for any

I've got a whole slew of art, if you don't want your car anymore.

I think i'm the gentleman lawyer, aka "art". and thanks for linking my shot here, it looks very good on your blog.
what is a "slightly functional" underwater camera exactly?

hi art! well, my underwater point and shoot has seen some years, and it'll shoot a roll of film fine. but, as i recently discovered in fiji, there is no way to get it to rewind the film. so, every time i went snorkeling i brought the camera back to my room to unload it. i hung sarongs in every window and improvised a dark box out of my suitcase, stuck my hands in and ripped the film out of the camera and respooled it manually. oh, and if i shot with a flash, the batteries died after 2-3 shots, so no flash. all of this notwithstanding, i may not actually get rid of the thing til i am motivated to buy an underwater housing for my digital p&s.
