6x6 and a Wedding Dress

from: Portrait Image of Person Ji-eunJi-eun (30)    to: Portrait Image of Person EddyEddy (42)
The image shows a bride in a vintage-style setting. She has a joyful expression while holding a bouquet of flowers and an old-fashioned camera. The bride is dressed in a delicate, lacy gown with a high collar and wears her hair styled neatly, adorned with a decorative hairpiece. Her veil cascades down her back. The soft, blurred background reveals an indoor gathering with several people, suggesting a celebratory occasion. The image has a warm, nostalgic tone, reminiscent of a classic photograph.


Dear Eddy,

Greetings from Pyongyang!

My name’s Ji-eun, and I’ve got a story so strange, it practically requires a beer to go with it. (I hear that’s your morning ritual?)

So here’s the deal: I’m a bride. Not your typical cake-cutting, veil-fluttering kind.
No—I may be the first bride in history to photograph her own wedding.

The attached photo proves it: me in full bridal glory, armed with my battered 6x6 medium format camera.
Think Hasselblad 500c, but with more history and a bit less structural integrity.

It’s been loyal—but let’s be honest, it weighs as much as a small child and isn’t exactly quick on the draw.
So this is where you come in, oh mighty Fuji whisperer.

A friend (devout Facebook believer, possible spy) told me you’re the go-to guy for cameras.
I need your wisdom: Which older Fuji digital compact is worth chasing down? Something with soul, poppy colors, and a little less hernia potential?

If you ever find yourself in Pyongyang (stranger things have happened), the first round’s on me.

Thanks in advance—seriously.

Cheers, with frothy affection,
Ji-eun
