This camera really is kind of crappy despite it's heft - there is NO margin between frames - they do a lil overlap. I like how despite loading the film in *perfectly* this exposure is paritally on the bit of film that is masking taped to the backing paper

Been sitting on the table all month. I finally gave up finding the light meter (where are you!) and sunny 16'd that shiz this afternoon. Will I get it developed tonight?

This one is wild "explain probability of a coin toss in words". And what gets me is I remember doing a far more nuanced version of this with dice rolls in Form 2, and that was a general class lesson. Though now I mention it, I remember it cos the teacher didn't understand the task
"In a coin toss, Sarah usually picks heads. But the last three tosses have all come up tails. Should Sarah choose heads or tails for the fourth toss, or is either choice acceptable? Explain your answer using ideas about probability."
