film photography
I’ve been reading a couple of blogs about Polaroids and how people are trying to save them from being diminished [website link to save Polaroids]. Thanks to lomography and its innovative toy camera creations, they have managed to capture the fading art of film photography and transformed it into a generation Y gadget that expresses photos from all historic and retro perspectives.
I’ve had my lomography cameras for 1 year and I still haven’t touched them. I figured since i have an SLR its allowed me to experiment photography on a different level and now its given me a wake-up call to unleash my lomography cameras. One of my friends (Anita that’s you) has always been a lomographer you can check out her works by [clicking here].
I’ve been doing research as to the type of film i should use and i’ve purchased Agfa 200ASA and 800ASA. It would be interesting to see the different quality with the different ISOs. I also bought a couple of irrelevant items (impulse shopping).

Speaking of photography. The great thing I love about flickr is that its a photography based website. I love it how its soo arty and everyone’s photos are art based. Its what makes my fingers itch to try and learn more about my SLR and techniques.
Met up with old pals over the weekend for catch-up dinner. Turns out we all brought our SLRS LMAO so we test out the quality of our awesome cameras. It was interesting seeing other people stand behind us and check out our shots over our shoulders L0L.
Bunch of geeks we are!

I love the picture that you said was your favorite of the night. It looks great! I really want a great camera, but I can’t afford it yet. But I’m gonna get one, you can count on that

thanks! SLRs are getting cheap these days you could probably find a nikon one for about $400 aussie dollar.
Canon SLRs never seem to go cheap (i dont know why) the cheapest is about a $1K with 2 lenses at least. Canon = Love

Damn girl. I admire you. You do great photography for real. I saw your pictures on Flickr. I admire your photos. I wouldn’t want Polaroids to be totally instinct. that’s just BAD. I mean, those were the easier ways to take photos if you know what I mean. I feel ya about Flickr. I love that place. It’s my home base for real. I love it.

thanks! ^_^
serious? yah i wouldnt buy a polaroid considering its pretty much non existant. It’s not my kinda thing.. i dont see how i can progress with that sort of camera. Plus the photo blanks are expensive and its pretty much going to be redundant
Lomography film art is beautiful! thats the only exception.
Thanks for your flickr link
