i know i'm supposed to be doing the other bit of my pl2132 project that's just been updated but i just couldn't resist. here's a post to my current obsession.

-----------------------------------

photography has always been a love/hate/hassle/hobby of mine, but my state of carelessness just does not put me into enough confidence that i should purchase an SLR. besides, i hate cleaning lenses, setting up tripods, carrying camera bags, blah blah.
and then,

i found these.
like,
oh. my. god. [no offense to christians who do not like people saying that because obviously god is like a public good that is meant to be shared and not like an eraser or sheet piece of undergarment that belongs to you and you only. okay maybe not the eraser. i always borrow.]

from the world renowned superheadz,
the famed,
'blackbird, fly'.

received raved reviews in it's first week of release in it's home country, japan. like a holga, only cooler, cause it's TLR, twins lens reflex. it takes 35mm films, which is pretty cool, but i'm not quite convinced by the hefty price tag.
$198

the 35mm squishy jelly camera.
comes in a variety of cheerful colours, cute, comes with keychain attachment!
quite price friendly, the outlook is definitely appealing, plus you can top up 6 bucks for flash, functions not that fantastic though.
$39 [with flash] $33 [without flash]

robot 3 lens cam.
nothing fantastic, but the idea of having 3 images in one picture is quite appealing to me, im not sure why.
a simple no brainer, but at the same time the manual-ness of this could be an off side instead of a plus.
$20-30

the limited edition golden half!
like 1000 pieces worldwide only!
saw this at the asylum today priced at 110 and was immensely tempted to rush back and confirm the purchase at 90 special price online. shoots twice as much as 35mm cam, has hotshoe [plus], cool outlook [plus], limited ed [plus] package includes film [plus]
$90

from urbanoutfitters.com
rollei black and white cam.

if you can't offord the real thing, why not get a disposable? brand, plus. film included, already loaded, plus. black and white film, plus. the big minus is that it's a disposable, and my brain just won't work with my heart saying yes to paying 22USD [excluding shipping] for a 24-disposable.
but it's still cool to me.
$40~

another uo product,
lomography white fisheye camera.

the best part is the 170 degrees fisheye part.plus plus! undoubtedly it will make all my boring photographs look a tad better. uses 35mm, built in flash, plush, cool exterior, plus.
not cheap though.
$60-70

it's the oktomat.
*smile* somehow the name rolls off my tongue in a bizarre but nice way. 8 picture multi frame shots. nice. standard 35mm. cute exterior, plus.
not sure if im that into motion rolls though.
$60-70

lastly, the split cam.
love the idea of multiple exposures in 1 picture. yeah holgas can do that, but i don't dig holgas. 35mm. fatal flaw = no flash :(
$198

-----------------------------------------------------

conclusion is, it's hard for me to decide which to get, so i decided i'll slowly collect them all, HOHOHO!!!!
better than buying things like wallets, or clothes or shoes or bangles right?
*wide smile*


p.s. i think i ll get the golden half first, omg it looks so pretty in the packaging and i'm really curious how it works and how the pictures will turn out man! i could not eat for a week [figuratively i guess. it's quite hard literally, with all the peer pressure around. not eat for a meal and people say you're dieting. not all fat people diet okay. -____-"]

anyway, sidetracking,
today i accidentally hit my left pinkie against a rather hard cupboard and broke the nail. and it bled, duh. and then esther was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause the blood was quite bloody. then on our way back she asked me if it was this toe the last time we had to go ER. i said no, i think, it's the other one.

and then she said,
oh, that's okay, you're being fair then.





the end.
