new obsession

Vintage Love

Well, I have become obsessed over getting another camera for my collection. I thought that my Diana was all I would need of the big name lomography cameras, but I was wrong. While spending some serious time looking through many pictures on lomography.com I have been struck on numerous occasions of the sheer magic, and mood that is captured by a little camera known as the Lomo LC-A. There is a certain grainy quality that I just can't resist. Readers, i am afraid that I am going to end up blowing more money on another toy! This is the sort of fear that I fancy. Yes, I still love my Diana, and would never replace her. The Lomo LC-A, of course would not be a replacement to my beloved blue camera but a brother to her.

Readers, as far as my photo class is going, I am slightly behind on the current project. Part of this I attribute to the large distraction of lomography. I find it more difficult to try, and take a whole role of a subject assigned. Analog photography offers endless possibilities, that is why I am so drawn to it. Taking a roll of shadow pictures is not as easy as it would seem, I guess it is a good exercise to try and stretch my abilities to make the images worth looking at.

So, if anyone wants to give me a very early Christmas present, I would like the Lomo LC-A please!
