Well here we are another New Year. I don’t know what has happened but it seems like we fast forwarded from 1986 or so to now awful danged fast. So lets make the most of the time we have and have a Great New Year<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The world’s greatest MIL, Nana gave me another Lomography<\/a> camera, the La Sardina<\/a>. I think there are over 50 models of this camera. (Lomography is a fancy name for capturing images with “toy” film cameras.) The basic difference besides metal or plastic is the design. Mine is the “Marathon” that is decorated like a sardine can. There is one model that is just white plastic, the “DIY<\/a>” and the intention is that you decorate yourself with Sharpie pens for those of us who just have to be us, and are gifted artistically which is so not me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lomography<\/a> is just one of those things that one either “gets” or you don’t. The photographs are not anywhere near the quality of the most inexpensive digital cameras. You pay money for the film and then you pay more money to develop the film, and to top it off I don’t even get prints, the lab puts the images on a cd. Also, there is no view finder so you can’t see what you got until it is developed, there is no zoom, very little if any in the way of exposure or focus settings. It is also very east to forget to take the lens cap off. It doesn’t make any sense at all,I fully admit.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the pictures that they take. I can’t explain it and I’m not going to justify it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every shot counts and if you put too much foreground in, that’s too bad! I know that digital photographs are so much more superior. <\/span><\/p>\n

I love playing around with the Camera. Most Lomography<\/a> cameras make it very easy to make double exposures. Above is son, SuperPizzaBoy walking one of our dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

So anyways, I’m liking my new camera. We haven’t had decent weather to do much with it.<\/span>

<\/span>Lomography has their “Ten Golden Rules<\/a>“, as follows. They work. The best Lomo photos are the ones that are up close and spontaneous.<\/span>
