Home From Ohayocon
Ohayocon was a great time! Almost like a mini-vacation. Very cool.
I’m currently working on adjusting and resizing the 30+ digital pics we took over the weekend. Until then, here’s a pic I just took of Aaron displaying his two prized purchases: his moogle hat and his Mr. Sparkle t-shirt.
Con pics and a review/narrative soon to come!
My And My Lomo
Maybe I?m supposed to be a photographer.
This morning, around 10:30, the fog rolled in. It happened to get brighter outside the window, in my periphery, so I turned to look. And the first thought in my head was, ?I can?t wait to go to break so I can photograph that!? I carry my Lomo in my purse or my jacket pocket almost everywhere now, so I?m almost always ready for photo ops like this.
As it turns out, I couldn?t even wait till breaktime. I pulled out my Lomo, pressed it up against the window to avoid glass glare, and took a shot. Then, about fifteen minutes later, I took my break upstairs in the quiet room (as usual) and took a couple photos from the second floor windows.
It?s gotten to the point where I don?t care who sees me and thinks I?m a dork for bringing my camera to work. Everyone in my department knows that I have my little plastic camera with me wherever I go, and I take pictures of weird things (like when the squirrel outside jumped up on the windowsill). Plus, the chintzy sound of the Lomo?s shutter has made it possible for me to take photos of people who don?t realize they?ve been photographed, not even after the shutter fires—maybe they thought it was a door latching shut. 🙂
Fun Times With Disposable Cameras
Disposable cameras: they’re not just for wedding receptions anymore.
Some inventive folks have come up with CameraMail, in which one assembles a disposable camera on an oversized postcard with the instructions that postal workers are to take photographs during the camera’s trip cross-country.
How cool is that?
More Lomographs
Remember how I said after Halloween that Mei likes pumpkin? Well, here are the pictures to prove it:
And, while I’m at it, here are a few more lomographs I’ve neglected to post:
This was the wintry view that greeted me from the window one day while reading in our second-floor Quiet Room at work.
One of my co-workers turned 50 the day after Thanksgiving, so a few of the girls in the office decorated the day before Thanksgiving (after he left work for the day), to make his birthday that much more memorable.
