Guy Tarrant writes: How clumsy and odd this camera is; it feels so ancient and primitive. Click and press and then wait a very long time to see what happens. A camera so reliant on sunny days, so hit-and-miss, what to take. A lifetime of mug shots and picturesque humdrum scenes. This camera seems to lend itself to the tonal and abstract world of aging things. As a teacher I am drawn to the school playground: a resilient surface etched with years of recreation and misdemeanours. A true children's storybook exposing ever-changing traces of play. I take the camera's bulky box outside to the playground and click at nothing in particular.
