I have to write some more about my new little camera, because I am so in love with it. Unfortunately the last two days have been a flurry of illustrating and christmas shopping (ack! I just started today!) so I have not been able to go out and take any new pictures, much to my dismay. In the meantime I have compiled some pics taken last week and posted them to the photos page.
I got the idea that it would be nice to have a little camera when I began lamenting not having one on my ipod touch. I’m not even sure how I came across this group – but seeing the pictures convinced me that this was the one I wanted, mostly because of its Holga-esque qualites (a camera which I do own, but I have to travel by bus to get film and anyone who owns one knows how costly it can become to develop the pictures). I was not disappointed – the pictures look a lot like they could come from the Holga, and I can shoot more than a hundred in one outing without paying through the nose for it. I love how colours look and the weird way that whites seem to glow. It sure does take some lovely pictures for a tiny-sized plastic 1.3 megapixel camera. I am quite keen to try some ir photos and some photos through anti-newton glass (although god knows if that will work with such a tiny lens). Now if I only had the time to go shoot some pictures!
