New Camera Self-Portrait

Self-portrait on walking path at Arrowhead Park, Maumee OH || ActionSampler

I picked up this little four-panel camera at Savers for 99¢ a few weeks back. This was one of the test shots I took over my lunch break, while walking in a local park. I’m impressed with the focal length, as this shot was taken at arm’s-length, a distance that makes most of my cameras cringe in blurry horror.

After only a moment of research this evening, I think I may actually have an honest-to-god Lomo ActionSampler. All the details of this unlabeled thrift-store find look exactly like the cameras on the lomography website.

Fantastic!

  1. oh, and apparantly, you’re only allowed to take pictures of disgusting things with it.

    Our expert Lomographer says:
    “What makes this little camera the ultimate device for capturing fast-moving documentation of everyday movements is its breathtaking capacity to immortalise 4 images in series on each of your negatives. From nose-picking, teeth chattering or knee-shaking, to furious flatulence.”

  2. eww.

    but, yes, it does take regular 35mm film. click on my lomohome link in the blogroll to see this plus two other actionsampler pics, animated into a four-frame movie. fun!
