I'd settle for his tripod. ;)

I have a tendency to cross-post videos like this from here over on Google+ for my off-board friends, but haven't quite figured out the best way to attribute it back. So it always makes me feel like a poacher when I do. :P

So, thanks Becky!!! I laughed and winced at him putting the 35mm film in his TLR, wondering how many of my young digital friends might take it as a how-to segment. :)

Kai´s favourite camera is an M2. Seen clips of him using it on occasion, and he always forgets a light meter, but gets his exposures right none the less. He´s more experienced and serious than he wants us to believe.

One thing I can't believe is how much of a klutz he can be!
Even tape is too much for him! Have you seen him tape-up his holga in one of the shows?
