I love my digital camera and I love taking digital pictures, but lately I’ve been wanting to use film, and older cameras. I am by no means an artist or a photographer, but I quite enjoy picture-taking and exploring the photo world & its many wonders.<\/p>\n
to that end, instead of doing the piles of work on my desk, I decided to do a bit of research into lomo cameras and also find an old polaroid to buy on CL or ebay. I’m leaning right now towards the polaroid sx-70 or the polaroid SLR 680. Not sure yet which lomo I want, I think I’ll get the holga 120n, see how i like it, then maybe “upgrade” to a “fancier” model.<\/p>\n
hrm. the problem with the polaroids is that they are going to stop making the film for those cameras soon; the film currently available is kinda expensive. but I want one anyway. and the lomo camera just seems like a lot of fun. as I just said, I’m not particularly good at taking pictures nor do I have any sort of artistic vision (unless by accident), but I think a lomo & old polaroid camera might make my lame pictures better somehow. by the power of grayskull maybe.<\/p>\n
I even pulled out my dumb old P&S 35mm. I picked up some clearance 35mm film at target for like two dollars. I wish I had a darkroom. and the ability\/knowledge\/equipment to develop my own film. it seems more organic. also, I wish I was a faerie. and I wish I had a candy button nose, licorice lips and soda eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
