testing the Tip-Wic

Hi! In a previous blog post I wrote about how I got lucky winning TAO's Tip-Wic.  Last week I got it from Leigh (thanks, Leigh!), and after a few hectic days with the Lopez Museum exhibit, I finally got around to actually opening the package and testing it.

wish wish wish

because Christmas nears.   At the start of the year I was able to give myself a few *big* items that I had wished for: an external drive, a Lomo LC-A camera, and a take-anywhere digicam, a Lumix FS4 that, according to Mervin who borrowed it for our Lopez Museum gig, "takes pretty pictures."  I really shouldn't call it a wishlist anymore since I end up buying the stuff myself anyway, haha.

So what am I "wishing" for this year?

i love film cameras, part three

What I love about my cameras is that no two are "operated" the same way, and each has its own talent and specialty!

Snap Sights can take photos underwater (and over water too!).

i love film cameras, part two

Let me introduce you to a couple of old ladies.

Olympus Pen EE and the Olympus Pen EE-2 half-frame cameras.  

Half-frame cameras are cute, fascinating, and they take twice the amount of pictures as full-frame cameras! My Pens' meters have gone quite wonky but they still work.  The EE-2, fondly called Li'l Blush, has taken a lot of fun pictures!

i love film cameras, part one

I love them so much i've decided to make my first November blogpost all about my cameras!  I hope the world never runs out of film and film labs.  *wish*

First up is the Polaroid 320 Land Camera given to me by my dad.  I think he was into exploring ebay then, haha.
