Twin-Lens Reflex... Sex on Film!
I love my Yashica 635, the vintage medium format 120 film camera I rock with when I get the chance. There is something about the permanency of film that I love. I shoot digital on commercial jobs, but for personal work I prefer film most of the time. Check out my Flickr stream to see some shots off the Yashica.
Hi to all the visitors from FRESHLY PRESSED! This illustration is #44 in my One Illustration a Day project. I am up to #56 today and you can check out all the illustration to date here
Will check out your Flickr page. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome, thanks for visiting!
Wow, I can see why you were Freshly Pressed????????
Blessings,
Ava

Thanks Ava!
I’ve used Hasselblads (and love them), but never a TLR. Probably the reason I’m so fascinated by them is because they remain mysterious to me. They’re one of the few kinds of cameras I’ve never actually used or even held. Thank you for sharing.
I love Hassies and hope to get one soon! TLRs are awesome, and cheaper for the most part!
thanks for visiting and commenting!!
I have a Yashica 124 G -it’s beautiful to look and it makes awonderful clonking sound:

I also have a Russian (?) bakelite TLR called a Plascaflex: which is cute but really in the same league…
I’ll post that later
I love the big clunk of the 635 too, old school. Your Mat-124G looks in great condition! I have a friend who found one at auction and I’m thinking I may just steal it from them
Thanks for sharing! It’s always nice to see creative work get recognized (and Fresh Pressed).
Thanks for the visit and comment!
Sex on film?!?! Love it!
hehe! Well, you know… have to dirty up these posts sometimes
Wow! I couldn’t have come across your site at a better time! I just finished a course in Illustrator and, also, recently purchased my Wacom tablet. I was just thinking yesterday how am I going to improve my skills and make sure I continue to grow in my art. You have just inspired me on how to do that–an illustration a day!
Am definitely going to subscribe to your site and check back often for inspiration and maybe some camaraderie! Nice work.
Thanks! Good luck with your Illustrator/Wacom adventures!
Well-dirtied!
Thanks Jennifer!
Love using TLR! I miss using my university’s Mamiya C220. I’ve been looking into buying one, just haven’t decided on which one to get, so many good brands out there.
Thanks for the comment, yeah TLRs are cool as but deciding between Rollei, Yashica, Mamiya… the list goes on!
Freshly pressed… The big time!
Sigh … if only I could draw … or take pictures for that matter. Well done.
….but I can’t write like you!
The advantage of the TLR was shooting with heavy red or green filters, but having a clear viewing lens. The C330 was my first ‘real’ camera back in 1972, and I shot with it until 2002. Now have digital, and a complete Graflex XL system, plus an Italian Silvestri outfit.

Thanks for the comment! Checked our your flickr stream too, love the La Luz Trail image and the balloon/bubbles! Very cool!
I love my Yashica 635 too. It’s classic camera.
They are sweet little cameras thats for sure! Thanks for checking out the blog!
you work with film. I work with words. We are on about the same thing. fixing the transient, capturing that moment in time. you would have loved the interview with Tony Mott, rock ‘n’ roll photographer the other day; he spoke eloquently about film
Thanks John, I think I’ve been a doc on Tony Mott before… pretty amazing guy!
You have the passion of photography continue doing your likes..
I also have a Yashica 635 and I’m in love with it! Glad to see someone else has love for it as well. I don’t meet to many people that have the 635.
They are awesome cameras!
Thanks for the comment!
Awesome! I love the drawing.
Thanks Elena!

Oh and I absolutely forgot to say, congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!!! (in addition to being awesomely talented that is)
Hehe, you’re too kind
These are so cool! Looked at your illustrations- love the Rock Clock and the London Botany Bay ones…. you should make your illustrations into T-shirts etc… unless you already do… these are great!
Thanks Krista, I have a few t-shirts up at redbubble.com… The link is in the righ hand column.

I love TLR! Great illustration. One illustration a day, that’s quite the challenge! Best of luck
Thanks Magalie… 56 down, 309 to go!
Love, love, love the illustration. I have a similar camera that is near and dear to my artistic heart. I can’t wait to explore your other illustrations.
Thanks for the comment Jennifer, hope you enjoyed the other illustrations!
I love the picture, especially the details of the lines and the colors you have too. It looks like sex on film! Thanks for sharing!
