On Lomo I can get a brand spanking new plastic model complete with 1 year warranty for a balk-worthy three hundred and fifty dollars (I spell it out to emphasize the large amount).
OR!
Even better! I can get an old antique most likely working usually sans manual one on ebay for as low as 20!! Granted, the shipping is usually between 25 and 30 dollars. But hey, sounds like a deal to me!
As some of you may know I consider myself a not so artsy, not so fartsy, and not so talented type of person. (I don't MEAN to always be so self deprecating. To me, it isn't an insult or putting myself down, it's simply acknowledging my strengths and faults).
But I do have a growing interest in medium format film cameras. I think there's a potential for me to be SO interested I might even consider photography a hobby (take into consideration that many feel they can call themselves photographers with only a small sense of vanity. I am not this. not quite yet, at least. I'm just a person that takes pictures sometimes). The thing that stops this from being an actual hobby, you wonder?
The mooooonnneeeeeeeey. Developing and printing film runs quite high. I wish I could afford it a thousand times more often.
For now I'm saving money for mine and Adam's trip. But when I get back? Watch out ebay, my unemployed ass is out to get you.
On other hands: underwater camera in hawaii? you're SO on.
