20 Camera Man

/

..all photographed with a phone…

It turns out I’ve not bought 19 broken cameras. I’ve actually received 20. I’ve tested each one and they are all broken. I’ve given them all names.

  • Mr Sticky Shutter

  • No Rewind Boy

  • Just Dead

  • Weird battery guy

  • Stuckee

  • The Battery Flattener

  • The Dangly Back Kid

  • Sir NoClick

  • The one that winds forever

  • The one with the stuck frame counter

  • Flash but no trousers

  • Missing buttons

  • Shiny but bust

  • Only clicks, never whirrs

  • Nothing moves

  • Chinon less wonder

  • Is this the end of Ricoh?

  • T’would be nice if this worked

  • Shiny but that’s it

  • Mr. Dial

The Canon Dial that I really wanted does more than my previous purchase, but there is still something broken about it. I’ve been looking at the repair manuals for these cameras and they are packed full of parts which are easy to break and hard to mend. So for now the quest continues….
