a blast from the past kodak style

today with a few hours to kill i decided to test out an old Kodak Junior camera link from wiki http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Kodak_Junior , after re spooling the film from the now standard 120 to the old 620 spools.I picked up the light meter and took the camera for a walk round truro college came back with some abstract images taken from the building.The camera itself has very little control short of the 2 shutter speeds and aperture control. the focus is on the front of the lens and is marked in feet this lack of focus may explain how some of my images are out of focus or have a strange focus point but again im impressed with the end result of the images

The Daily Mail

so what do we get when the tea boy or recent university graduate decides they can construct a news article this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1241584/Plot-attack-presenters-Most-Haunted-busted-pranksters-caught-discussing-plans-online.html
After the total and utter fiascoe at the north wales asylum where they remade a padded cell. Even tho the padded cells have not been used since the 40-50es due in part to the use of better drugs.along with this several other parts of the building where constructed as props to suit the needs of the show.And that ended in the main hall being burnt down 2 weeks after the show aired.Due to this feelings within the urban exploration community where not at the best towards the most haunted crew.Because of a recent thread on 28 days later about the planned most haunted visit to RAF Rainham to film the new episode of the show.this led to the comments posted by members that felt strongly against the most haunted using locations to produce what is essentially a stage manged false show.
so fast forward to the so called journalist picking up on the thread on 28days later who then decides to produce some gutter journalism on what was essentially nothing.And with this twist what was a simple off hand comment by myself into that of me assaulting the presenter of most haunted. All this shows is that A why did this ever class as news and B all this shows is again the total dumbing down of the news to the lowest common denominator again by papers like the daily mail.
thanks tho to the editor for producing this so called news as my hits on my website and blog have been very high today
