In your bag No: 1316, Nathan Law
Nathan has been thoughtful enough to not only label the items contained within his bag, but to provide us with a delightful cameraporn shot of one of his favourite cameras as well. This one is a beauty.

Hello from Canada, Bellamy and JCH readers!

I will never forget the day a Wal-Mart Photo Lab attendant rang up my film order and the total came to 22$CAD.  This was 8 years ago, when photo labs were just beginning to phase out and Lomography had launched the LC-A+ and the Diana F+.  I knew that there would be a miniature resurgence of film lovers, so I started my own photofinishing service.

I’m happy to say that my darkroom hobby is still in business.  I offer the only publicly accessible wet darkroom in London (Ontario) and I also support artists in Toronto.  I’m a recent Physics graduate and I’m looking for another career, so feel free to reach out to me!

I developed an interest in photography after I inherited two film cameras, the Minolta Maxxum 5 and the Minolta Hi-Matic 7S, from my brother and father, respectively.  Today (15 years later), I own a medium sized collection of classic cameras which I rotate in and out of my bag depending on my mood.  Here is my current set-up:

1. Deuter ACT Trail 32 Pack

2. Blackberry Curve 9300, Ipod Shuffle, Keys

3. Yashica Mat 124G

4. Sekonic L-38 Light Meter & Kodak TX400 in 120/35mm flavors

5. Nikon L-35 AW/AF

6. Extra Professional Peppermint, Bus Pass, Wallet

7. Toshiba Laptop

8. Zebra F-301 & Pentel Mechanical Drafting 0.9mm Pencil

9. Michener Institute Planner, Life The First Decade (1936 – 1945)

I don’t think I’ve come across the All Weather version of the Nikon L35 AF on this website site yet.  It sports the same drool worthy 35mm f/2.8 lens as its older brother, the <i>pikaichi</i>.  The only difference is that it’s ultra rugged and it’s silent because the rubber sealing dampens the noise from the built-in motor drive. 

I’m going to be in New York soon, so be sure to follow my website and Instagram for some lovely film photos from the Big Apple.
