I'm Kaylah. thrifting queen. 
Everyday it becomes a little more apparent that I'm a collector. I hate mess, I hate clutter, but if said "mess" and "clutter" are organized in some way they're wonderful. But you already kind of knew that, right? I'm going to have a new series of posts featuring some of my many collections. I'm really excited (and slightly nervous) to show you my collections, some of them might seem kind of strange. Some are sentimental, others for looks and some are to play with. But perhaps you'll get to know me a little better?
Everyday I fall a little bit more in love with photography. I love taking pictures, capturing moments that might otherwise be forgotten. And I love learning more about cameras, how they work, what makes do certain things, etc.
Though, one thing I am bad at is getting film developed. Today after work Kevin is stopping to put in 6 rolls to get developed, I don't even know which cameras they're from let alone what's on them! I can't wait to see. I'll make sure to share some when I get the photos back!

The first I'd like to share with you is one that is growing rapidly - my camera collection.
(this one is actually a few short, i found some i couldn't pass up at the thrift store yesterday!)
A large chunk of my film cameras are displayed on the shelf above my desk in my craft room so that I can see them all and decide quickly which one I want to use. 
Here are a few close ups of my collection...

Wow! What a collection! A cool thing to have lots of though. At least they have a function, right? Can't wait to see your other collections!
ReplyDeleteWow! cool collection. When I was doing a lot more film, I'd have the same wonderment: what is on that roll? Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! How many do you actually have? I think I've got 16.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on building up my camera collection. I have a lot of older ones that I don't think I can even get film for anymore! I need some fun ones (like the instax, split cam etc).
Can't wait to see more of your collections!
Love them all. Love collections. Looking forward to future posts!
ReplyDeleteLovely collection! I would never have guessed that you have so many.
ReplyDeleteOh man these all look so fun! I only have 2 cameras, a regular digital and an Instax Mini. I'm really loving the oldschool feeling the pictures from the Instax produce. I may have to get my hands on another polaroid-esque camera!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. I am jealous. I have a little collection but half of them don't work and are just for show!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I used the first photo of camera's for my phone's background. Hope you don't mind :)
ReplyDeleteExcuse me if I am being a bit forward, but this post just reminded me of the huge crush I have on you.
ReplyDeleteOh Man! What a collection! I thought I had a lot camera's :)
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing collection!
ReplyDeleteNice!! You can never have too many cameras. I see a couple in there that I have too, and a few on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteoooooops for the stack of film in my drawer too..
ReplyDeleteare they all working?
ReplyDelete- i looove collections ^^
i collect passphotos of people i dont know :D
I'm so so so jealous of this! Just purchased my first dualflex and can't wait to try it out! Love your blog too by the way!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have a camera collection too but it's not near as big as yours! I love collections - can't wait to see what else you collect! :)
ReplyDeletei'm guessing you have already seen this video, since it went viral recently, but just in case you haven't, go watch it now. you'll really appreciate it!

This is just the most glorious collection I've ever laid eyes on. I'm dying with envy!
ReplyDeletein love with your camera collection and can't wait o see the photo series of all your other collections
ReplyDeletei love this! there is a pink, green & purple camera in the first picture. what is it?
ReplyDeletei'm not the greatest with a camera. in fact i've had the same one for around 4 years that i still don't know how to make it take incredible pictures. lol!
can't wait for more of your collections. ♥erica
yay for collections! i have so many as well. & one of them is my growing camera collection too. do all of your cameras actually work? if so, that is awesome! i don't buy cameras unless i am pretty sure that they work & many of the vintage ones do not.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your camera collection -- and even more impressive that you actually USE them! Go you!
ReplyDeletei can't wait for this feature! i'm learning to develop film right now, so i'm absolutely loving film cameras!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your collections and especially this of cameras. Its not hard to develop films, b&w or in color. Just a little practice and u get a hang of it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely camera collection! I'm the same way about actually getting the film developed once I've taken photos... My dad has a darkroom in his house where I can process B&W, but when it comes to taking in color film to get processed, I tend to majorly procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteI'm a collect a holic too! I do not collect camera's though...impressive collection there! I love the peek into your collections...so sweet! :) I'd love it if you stopped by my blog to enter the giveaway. http://shewearscrazywell.blogspot.com/2011/01/giveawaymy-first-ever.html

Wow that's a ginormous camera collection! I actually added 'start a vintage camera collection' to my list of things to do this year. I have yet to buy my first, but I'll hopefully start a collection soon :) Do all of your work?
ReplyDeleteThat is one *amazing* collection. I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping one day my collection looks like this...I think I'm up to seven or eight film cameras. It's definitely not enough for me. :)
ReplyDeleteWoah! Awesome collection! I've recently started a camera collection and would looooove to have one as nice as yours eventually :)
ReplyDeletei looooove looking at collections. i thought i was the only crazy collector...then i found the blog world! this is a great camera collection. i am impressed.
ReplyDeleteoh, and to your purring comment...that is so cute that doc purrs like that too! i love funny purrs. it is the best when the kitties crawl into bed with us at night and purr. definitely relaxing.
i hope to have a major collection like that one day!! i have a third of that right now! i locw it!
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
ReplyDeleteThey all work, except maybe one or two that I'm not sure if they work because I've never bought film for.

Do you get all of your cameras from thrift stores?
KAYLAH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletetwo things -

2) I saw this link just now and knew I had to share it with you http://www.ecocharlie.co.uk/grow-yourn-own-mushrooms-log-kit-shitake.html?___store=default They do all different kinds =)
Sending love from the UK, Katie xo
Oh my god I love this post!
ReplyDeleteSo many blogs seem to follow the same themes, daily outfits etc. Now don't get me wrong, I'm still a huge fan of those, but I *love* to find bloggers who manage to find ways to express themselves in totally new and original ways.
I think that's why I like you're blog so much, it's a true reflection of you and your tastes which in turn, makes it an utter joy to read.
Thank you for sharing!
Kim
Katie, My mom actually just bought me some mushrooms to grow from a seed catalog! i'm so excited!! :D
ReplyDeleteKim, thank you so much! It's awesome comments like that that keep me motivated. :)
mommatojoa, not all of them, but a good portion are from thrift stores.
ReplyDeletenina, i'm not 100% sure. i'll count them soon.
I'm so jealous! they're all adorable!
ReplyDeletewhat are the chances of me telling you about it and your Mam actually buying one at the same time?! haha!! x
ReplyDeletewow this is a great collection! can't wait to see more of your collections.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteholy whoa, that's a lot of cameras. do you use all of them?
ReplyDelete&i shot you an email a while back asking about instax film, it's in your spam box maybe?
You can open the museum of film cameras. ))
ReplyDeleteHey kayla, do you like the instax mini or the instax 210 more? I can't decide which to get!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing. You make me want to take my camera with me always. I have the polaroid 600 also, but they have stopped selling the film in the UK! :( So I have one packet left that I am holding onto because I am too scared to use it and never be able to get any more!
ReplyDeleteWhich is your favourite camera?
La
These are really cute. I have been wanting to start a bit of a camera collection myself. I especially want an action sampler and one of those 'juice box' cameras.
