Analog #4

Some more from a trip into Lymm.

The photo of the bunch of flowers in the canal is my favourite.

I imagined a guy giving them to his scorned lover, who then beat him with them, and tossed them nonchalantly into the dark waters.

Ah, stories. 

The house boats were beautiful.

There was one for sale for £40,000.

I don't know if that's a good deal or not, but i wanted in!

Another couple of favourites, 

'For thirsty dogs' sign, 

and the video sign in the charity shop.

My cameras - Lomo

One of my favourite things in the world is cameras.

I love taking photos,

looking back at pictures and recalling the day,

situation,

conversation. 

I love just looking at a camera too.

I just find them really aesthetically pleasing.

[i'm coming across weird again]

You know some people collect dragon figurines,

oh, or Pogz?

Well i like to collect cameras. 

I first got introduced to lomo cameras when my boyfriend went to London a while ago.

He went to the design museum,

[i love the shop there]

And came home with a lomo fisheye camera.

I was like 'WOAH what is that!?'.

Especially when the film got developed.

I think it took me about two months before it was in my possession.

Ha, winner.   

Below are some of my lomo cameras.

The main premise of lomo photography is to point and shoot.

Suits my style of photography perfectly.

[no style at all!]

This was a christmas present a few years back.

I haven't had any film developed yet, 

i haven't really found anywhere decent to take pictures.

It's a spinner.

I know right!

See the little ring? 

Well, you grip the handle, pull the ring,

hold the camera above your head and release!

360º photo.

I have no clue where i'd get the film for this developed lol. 

Any ideas??

The old favourite.

Little fisheye.

Look at him in his fancy on trend neon jacket!

This colourful beast has 8 lenses. 

Which means 8 frames in one picture.

It is bizarre and so fun.

I also have a 120 diana that i am yet to play with properly. 

Man i suck!

I told you, i just like to look at them!

Does anyone else own any toy cameras?

I'd love to see your photos!

Analog #3

Some photos i took with my trusty Minolta while in England. 

The first few are from my mum's birthday, the rest from a trip to Lymm.

When i went to get these developed they guy offered to put them on a cd for an extra quid.

I was like, hells yeah!

So i pick them up, load the cd into my [very old] mac and.....

....nothing.

Darn it!

So i resigned myself to taking pictures of pictures again.

Took all 36x2 [maths is too much] photos then had a thought.

"i wonder if the cd works in the new mac"

Patiently load.

Oh look...

There are all the photos i just took pictures of the last 30 minutes.

*cries*
