Christmas

I have lots of new things to blog about, just have not made an attempt to get it on here as of late.

First off. Been ebaying way to damn much. There are 12 step groups and Im bound to search them out at this point. I was really doing good until lately. But ill get to that.

My Holga 135BC take up spool is friggen broken, after only 3 rolls. Im plotting to exchange that this week sometime since Christmas is the time for returns. By the way, Im pissed about it. I was planning on using the thing.

I splurged (Ebay) and went ahead and ordered a Lomo camera really really cheap. It was the actionsampler chrome. Its the one with 4 lenses. Pretty cool got it for $8 bucks. And it came with a lomo book too.

Also searching for trashcams online found a Dollar store camera that is fairly sought after. I went to 3 local place and found one that had some. I bought all of them. All 40 of them. Want one? Email me and ill give you a price.

Ebay again, has found a way to let me know cheap Asian companies make cameras, and I being a collector of sorts think I should buy them. Specifically a 3 lens lomo style camera. I went ahead and got one of those too. Cheap. $4.25 cents to be exact. Problem here is that the seller doesnt speak a lick of english to my knowledge and fails to let me know if the thing is shipped. And hes pissing me off now to the point where I feel like I should have just paid the extra $75 cents for an english speaking ebayer.

And finally. While Christmas shopping I found another camera. The pop cam, its like the 4 lensed actionsampler but its in Andy Warhol-esque color filters. Like a pop painting every shot.

I have lots and lots of new things to do with photography. I also managed to get my kit for my main camera, which is now the Cannon Rebel G. Bought a puffer diffuser for it and a couple of cheap lens filters as insurance. It works awesome. Also been trying to sell my ZENIT E but to no avail. Turns out no one wants Russian cameras! Not even the biggest local camera store in our area.

Things worth about $165 bucks refurbished if you got it from lomos website. I would have sold it for $30 bucks probably two weeks ago. Now I decided im keeping it for better or for worse.

Lastly. I been really really good about finding info wether it be on Flickr or on Google in general. Since I stay away from wikipedia I usually get good info on cameras. The trashcams thing took alot of my time up. So I can learn from modding the lot of 40 cameras I took up. But at the same time I was hounding ebay (I notice how much I say it because spell check hates ebay) for a rare rare rare plastic cam. The Vivtar Ultra Wide camera is the more expensive of the finished non production plastic cams. Quit making them some time ago. But its the brother of the oh, Lomo LCA. 22mm lens takes insane wide shots, blurs, dark corner, everything. Well I got one.

At the time of this post, some of the cameras I won, I am still waiting for replies (from english speaking friends of Hong Kongs ebay sellers) or waiting to just receive them in the mail. I will post pics of the new additions soon.

And Happy Holidays. Get ready to make resolutions. New Years will be here soon.

I know what mine is. "Shoot more 400 ISO and higher film, and only buy black and white."
