Hello there, this blog is being revived again, and this time it will keep ticking. As you would have seen from my last post back in 2018, a lot has happened in my life, a lot of water has flowed under the under the bridge since then. But from now on, the blog will be active!
With a few differences, though. Junk is no longer the main theme. I don't collect any more. Covid 19 made me sell what I could. That's good, I feel saner. My interest in old technology is now academic -- enjoy without collecting!
This blog is now mainly about photography. Many of my older posts were about photography equipment. I'm going to add my photos, old as well as what I'm doing now. Junk Lover is a funny name for a photography blog, I know, but let's keep it at that for the time being.

I'm selecting photographs right now for the MyIsland photography contest organised by the Atra magazine and the French embassy in Colombo. I'm not really competitive (this is the second contest I've entered in my whole life) but I'm doing it because as we get older, we tend to get forgotten. Even if I don't win a place in MyIsland, the effort of sorting out 20 to 30 photos from my selection will re-energise me!
I'll post those photos once the results are announced in mid-July (whether I score or not)!
This blog isn't all about retro photography. I'm doing a lot of digital work now. This photo of a French photographer using this Olympus film camera was taken with my Nikon digital camera. Now I've switched to Canon, working with a 5D Mark III and 600D. More about that, soon!
