Fixing the Instax
This broken Instax mini 8 was given to me as payment for a job that I was expecting. Money for. But this was 2 years ago.
I have been using an Instax mini 9 at events and around town in Toronto.
Today. I had a reason to finally get this camera fixed. Because I have a booking to play photographer at an event coming up here in toronto. So I went to my friend's place, a work shop in itself, where we took the time to get it working.
Some metal. A soldering iron. And a hot glue gun. Put it all back together. And just like that! After 2 years of sitting on a shelf. It's working!
It took 15 minutes of work.
But there is a reason!
It would be good to have a second camera at one of these events.
Once it was powered on and working I went and got some film.
If anybody is in toronto. This October.
