Little Ruminations on Beauty

About

Just look at it!

Look at this toy I got today. Just look at it!!!

It’s the second-most cutest thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on (you being the first-most, of course ).

It even has a working waist-level viewfinder!

And I cannot emphasize the size of this thing enough. Small teacup for scale.

The Rolleiflex twin lens reflex has always been my dream medium-format film camera, and it’s what Diane Arbus used to take all of these.

Now, you would expect that this thing is simply for decoration.

So would I.

And we would both be wrong! This little dude actually takes photos.
