my inspiration

Inspiration comes in many forms and mine came from one photographer: Daniel Y. Go. His photographs at Flickr and Multiply have inspired me to buy a Holga (and then a year after my LC-A+RL which he had been telling me to buy for the longest time) and start this affair with lomography. His pictures are just beautiful and breathtaking--he makes ordinary objects look special and interesting. He has given me helpful tips to get me started in lomography and he has never failed to answer any questions I have about cameras and films. Thank you Sir Daniel, you truly are an inspiration to me.

Holga 120TLR

The Holga 120TLR caught my eye the minute I saw it on eBay (last June 14). I don't own a TLR camera yet and I've always wanted to save up for a Lubitel. Seeing this made me think of buying one because it isn't as expensive as the Lubitel. Besides, it would be nice to take pictures with a TLR camera--that would definitely be a new experience for me. So until the day comes when I decide to by myself this camera, this will definitely be added to my camera and films wish list :)

a digital lomo cam?

Could this be the (digital) camera I've been waiting for? I got the link from the lomomanila mailing list and just looking at the specs made me want to buy my own Olympus E-P1. It's gorgeous! The Art filters are what caught my attention the most--there's a pinhole effect with vignettes!

I'm definitely saving up for this one :)

a note

Even if you view my blogs from a different location, I'll still know it's you. Setting up a fake account at Multiply just to leave a comment on my blog was also a cowardly thing to do.

the Vivitar IC 100

I haven't been taking pictures much these days but I did borrow my niece's Vivitar IC 100. I don't remember exactly how cheap I got it for when I bought it as a birthday gift... probably just $3 or even $6. One of the things I like about this camera is that it has a hotshoe which the UW&S doesn't have. I'd love to buy another so I can try modding it ;) not much on vignettes though and the images aren't that sharp (it has that lofi feel). Since I don't have permission to post my niece's pictures I'll try to post pics from my test roll soon.
