The Day that Phil Built

I have had this strange obessions with 'Phils' Today. It of course started with the almighty Mr Phil Collins.


It then got my mind wondering about the phils i admire. well when i say admire i mean out of the famous phils out there. When it comes to Phils in reality i know a few but none are super close friends.

Anyway number 2 is Phil Spencer.



Yeah i LOVE him. haha. Clearly Kirsty is my hero but for a man by this heros side, hes doing pretty good. I wish she would employ me for the ultimate craft life experience. but whoa there its about phil remember, not Kirsty or I. Phil, Yes you have a great mouth and facial expressions.

and number 3 is...






Fantastic actor. I always end up loving the majority of the films hes in.

Any other awesome Phils out there?




Sorry i just couldnt resist.

The Media.

Hidden Treasure

I just remembered how awesome being a library member actually is. I love the library down here, its very small but like they say its not quantity is quality? yes.
The benefits are endless though, as due to the wonderful internet i can request books from any West Sussex library. Aaaaamaazing. Yes im a mega geek.

Put down the bottle and pick up a book!

Anyway, Hi!
The reason im rambling about how awesome the library is, is because i recently rented the book photographed above. The camera maintenance and repair Book 1. and its incredible.

I am not even finished reading it, due to the fact i take forever to read any sort of books. I have wierd and wonderful ways of reading, this includes,

1. looking at all the pictures first
2. re-reading and re-reading pages
3. re-reading and looking at the pictures again.

Yeah i know its wierd and theres probably some label for it. but it works for me.

Im also dedicating space in my notebook to think about which cameras i will take apart and rebuild. I guess i want to understand the camera and be able to fix any problems that come up in the future and have a better connection with them too.

First off im going to fix my beloved Contax T2. If you ever get a chance to get one of these bad boys, i really advise you doing so. There were only a limited amount ever made and they are tough, believe me. I know mine is what some may say 'broken' but its not a bad kind of broken and i know can be fixed, i just wanted to fix it myself for a change.

But yeah these cameras are beautiful. One of my favorite from my collection still to this day.

Its a rather special point and shoot little camera that people raved about for a good few years, i believe it was the only kind at the time to be such an awesome p&s and has this lovely carl ziess lens just to top it all off. Im sure id find something to moan about but i just dont go down that road, i love my cameras each and every single one of them and find it hard to say bad things about them.



I thought i would post an image of the Contax T2. Just so you could all see what a beautiful little point and shoot it may be. I will be updating the 'fixing' process and photographing step by step. wahooo. im excited. life is pretty sweet huh?

Awesome camera. Buy one.


p.s while we are on the camera front check out this awesome blog. ah i wish i had that social set up around these areas. one day Beckah, one day.
