Four eyes are better than two

especially when you go lo-fi! Here's my Lomo Supersampler that I've rediscovered since my Canon CMOS is dirty. I even found a Flickr group to join! To use it, you load a slow speed film (might have to trim it a bit to get a good fit), get out on a sunny day (hence the slow speed film), hold it at waist level (optional), focus on a moving subject and pull the ripcord. Ta da!

Here we have half a spider's vision, multiple viewpoints, and super contrasty effects. And what photographer doesn't need a NOW button??? I picked up a few different formats of these cameras a few years before Marshall Field's closed. They had a pile of them in the old basement super discount area. My fave is this pretty pearlescent version.

Caught up?

Halloween
Cinderella had a big night out and then dropped a few teeth the next day!




CSO plays Mahler and Mozart
Phenomenal. We did a lot of walking around and here's some of what we saw while Obama dined down the street.




Now I'm caught up (?)... except for the thousand other pictures and events. Hmm.
