Gakkenflex TLR

So, I’m thinking of getting yet another toy camera to add to my puny collection. And this time, its the Gakkenflex TLR. Looks like a super old school camera. It is very old school. Did I mention I love old school stuff. Or things that look old school? Here’s a picture.

So anyways, been checking out the gakkenflex TLR and I’ve decided that I’m so gonna get one of those as soon as I have time and money. Time? Yes. As soon I have time to spare ’cause its a DIY camera! How cool! You get to build the camera from scratch and it costs much less if you bought the DIY one compared to the ready-made one.

So here is a video of how the Gakkenflex TLR works.

And here is a video of how to assemble the Gakkenflex. (=

Headed down to Harbourtown, Gold Coast, yesterday where I had a little retail therapy with my girlfriends. We chanced upon this cosy stationary shop, Typo, as the name suggests.

The paper bag from typo was simple and creative, using the traditional tie-string envelope concept. I think that the design of the paper bag is just so cute!

Love the font type and the fade-off effect. Totally old school! (:

One of the really cool items there was this set of speakers. You don’t have to plug it into any usb ports or worry about it every going out of batteries! Just have to plug it into your mp3! Nice.

It came in a clear zip bag, flattened like this.

After assembling it, you’ll get this.
