Description
This diary owes its creation to the coincidence that I found an incredibly ugly camera at a flea market. I could not imagine a worse design. I already thought that Canon cameras looked bad, but what Ricoh had designed here was beyond my imagination. Since I believe that ugly women are usually the better choice, I bought this camera analogous to that experience. Here you can see the results. The camera is ugly, but fantastic. The pictures are of an incredible retro style - not "style"- because they are real. I bought two more after my experience with this camera. So that one is always with me. At the time, I was impressed by an interview with the photographer Linda Eastman, who didn't even leave the house to fetch bread without her Nikon. In my case it is only a Ricoh AD-1. The scratches on the negatives were added to the pictures by my beloved lab. Camera: Ricoh AD-1
