• Currently Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? By Metric Calculation Theme see related

  Still shopping. Need new hobby. Lomo?

  I'm supposed to be on a shopping ban... but I broke it...
  Placed an order on UO with the 25% off coupon code for these two items:
  
  

  iPod Skin by Infectious
  

  
  

  
  

  SuperHeadz Golden Half Frame 35mm Camera
  

  
  

  
  I'm unreasonably excited for this camera!  It takes half-frame shots with regular 35mm film, so you get 72 shots out of a 36 exposure roll, etc.  Plus, this tiny 3.5 × 2.8 x 1.25 inch toy cam comes with a hot shoe to which you can attach a flash, and thus take pictures in any lighting.
  
  I found the flash on eBay for $15 and promptly purchased it.  I am so ghey.
  
  There's a group for Golden Half uploads on Flickr.
  
  I love how their pictures all turned out.  Simple and artful.  Looking at the world through the lens of lomography makes it seem more beautiful, more enjoyable than it actually is.  And that's pretty okay.
  
  So I'm thinking: I wish I had this camera with me years ago when I still lived in New York!  Or even one year ago when I still had some semblance of a social life.  Or even one year later when I'll be gone from this small small town.
