" In 1963, after the success of the Olympus Pen camera, Canon decided to enter the half-frame market. The Demi was the first Canon half-frame and sported a 28mm (f2.8-22) manually-focusing lens (5 elements in 3 groups). Shutter speeds of B, 1/30 - 1/250. It had a selenium meter, with a match-needle system (readout on top of camera) that set the shutter speed and aperture at the same time by turning a single ring on the front of the lens.... "*
.
All of the above images were shot using an early 1960's model of Canon Demi...a wonderful camera. As my usual no crop or major manipulations has been done on images.
.
After using the camera for few months, currently, talented and beautiful model and artist; Miss Brittany Vipond; has taken over the camera and actually doing photo sessions using it.

On an unrelated note I came across the following quotes about democracy which I thought were interesting enough to share:
.
"The survival of democracy depends on the renunciation of violence and the development of nonviolent means to combat evil and advance the good." - A. J. Muste
.
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." - John F. Kennedy
.
"The spirit of democracy cannot be established in the midst of terrorism, whether governmental or popular." - Mohandas K. Gandhi
.
Sounds like the understanding and appreciation of democracy has changed during years.

great images, from such a cool lil camera, i was checking them out on Ebay, and i found one but the meter doesn't work, i guess you could use a hand held meter.. somehow kills the fun of it.
a friend sent me this link today.

Thank you dear Tanya!
Love that camera and the light meter on mine was not accurate either...after exposing one roll of film, you'll have no trouble guessing the right f stop/shutter speed for it.
That link leads to pretty fun pin hole cameras. Rather fancy!
Cheers
