Another toy camera – Meikai EL
Posted at 8:12 am | Filed Under film
This is a Meikai EL, circa 1963. Bought on eBay, I was the only bidder! As toy cameras go, this one feels pretty solid. The body is metal and plastic and the leatherette makes it feel like a “real” camera. The film advance is smooth, and there’s an indicator to let you know when the […]

I’m still not sold on the Lensbaby – I like it, but I can get the same effect out of a Jazz Jelly camera or any other plastic camera. Or, I could shoot with a digital Stylecam Blink and not have to scan! I can shoot 10 megapixel raw images with my DSLR, though.

Stocking up on film
Posted at 9:15 am | Filed Under film
Sorting through my bookmarks, I found a film vendor online selling Lucky GBR 100 film for $2.00/36 exposures. This is my favorite film for LOMO shooting, as it’s sometimes as unpredictable as the LOMO is. Our joke on the lamented lomo.org BBS was that Quality was not Job One at the Lucky factory – one […]

Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco RG-1000 Residential Gateway notes
Posted at 7:51 pm | Filed Under blog
I have a wireless network segment at home using the Lucent RG-1000 residential gateway. The RG-1000 has been passed around from WaveLAN to Proxim to Lucent to Avaya to Agere and back to Proxim, and so finding documentation and drivers can be a problem. Here are my notes, should anyone else be looking for information […]

First lensbaby shot
Posted at 7:34 pm | Filed Under digital, lomo
I received my Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim in the mail the same day I took my Lensbaby out for a spin at lunch. The irony of paying for a lens to put on a digital camera to mimic a $5 plastic film camera is not lost on me.

Plastic Cameras

I love my TIME camera – it’s a Holga/Diana with the chromatic aberrations and vignetting, but without the cost of medium format film and development…

Just so you know…

Even though my site now looks an awful lot like 4 corners dark from a distance, it’s unintentional! Really, it is! I like the look of soma fm, my favorite streaming radio station, liked their fonts and “borrowed” some of their CSS. The darker background, while not quite 18% gray, does show off images better […]
