LOMO’s New Mystery Camera
Posted at 12:45 pm | Filed Under film, lomo
@lomography has been all (ahem…) atwitter about a mystery camera announcement this week. The folks at Tongue in Chic seem to have blown the lid off of the announcement of the Diana Mini, a half-frame/full-frame 35mm version of the cult classic Diana plastic camera.

Photos of science fiction writers’ nests
Posted at 6:11 pm | Filed Under art, journal
Kyle Cassidy has a great new project: “Where I Write: Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers in Their Creative Spaces.” In 2000, I found Kyle’s “Leicaslacker” pages and found his writing entertaining and his photos deserving of envy. I followed Kyle’s Armed America project through his LiveJournal, and continually wish I’d taken his photos.

The cameras are made of cardboard, bottle […]

Posted at 2:53 pm | Filed Under art
Light Test is a collection of light test snaps from photographers. Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes when they’re getting the exposure right, testing out compositions, or just blowing off steam in the middle of a long shoot? [light-test.com via kottke.org ]

Exposure-Mat, a free light meter (no batteries required!)
Posted at 7:54 pm | Filed Under film, journal
I’m a big fan of the Sunny 16 Rule for determining exposure. Print film is forgiving enough that you don’t always have to get the exposure *exactly* right to get a good shot. The”Sunny 16″ rule, paraphrased, says, “Set the shutter speed to the reciprocal of the film speed, and set the aperture to f/4 […]

Cheap Coffee Of The Week – Chase and Sanborn
Posted at 9:57 pm | Filed Under cheap_coffee_of_the_week
This was another can’t-pass-it-up deal – $2.99 for 10.5 ounces at Walgreens. It’s a decent, medium-bold blend. I find myself making an afternoon cup on weekends. Normally, I never drink coffee on weekends after my morning cuppa.

More LOMO + generic film goodness, and the lens correction filter in Photoshop CS2 to fix a bit of perspective shift.
