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.
