I had done her first Promo pack and now she's famous and this is the "Kurt and Courtney" guy. I'm reading "Aaton" on the front of the camera while they have it pointing at me and I'm asking what kind of camera it was (16 or 35 I saw the Nagra). The guy carefully explains to me that this is a "different" kind of camera. "It shoots film!". "Wow!" I said "Film!" like I never heard of it. There we were in my darkroom and I'm an idiot.
