Retro madness at the Canberra show | Canberra photographer

We went to the Canberra show today… sticky, smelly, overpriced, crowded, but so much FUN!  Brings out the kid in me, and you gotta love that!

I took my camera and didn’t use it, partly because I was on strict stroller duties due to hub’s broken wrist, but also because I was having too much fun playing with photography apps on my iPhone! I heart my iPhone. I also heart retro photographs.

I have wanted to buy an old sx70 polaroid camera for a while now, and would also love to have a play around with some old plastic toy cameras, which I’ve never done before… but now that I have these cool apps, I don’t think I’ll bother: this is just too much fun! Plus, who doesn’t love instant gratification?!

Despite a pretty fun morning, I am really disappointed that I missed getting a shot of Toby taking his very first pony ride. I’m not sure what I did, but in my excitement, I must have forgotten to hit save, and I lost the pic. Really bummed about that, because it was one of the biggest highlights of the day. That, and when we were watching the goat stud prizes and he refused to accept that they were goats and kept yelling out ‘CANEL!’ (camel) at the top of his lungs. He loved the pony ride, loved it (although I’m not sure whether it was the actual pony or the cool white helmet he got to wear that was more appealing).
