Another Film About a Female Photographer
This film looks interesting because it delves into this mans inability to have a woman in his life that is more successful than he will ever be.

Lomography is taking off like hot cakes
I have always enjoyed "crappy camera" aka lomo photography. The thrill of not knowing what will happen and then finally seeing the results and having a feeling of overwhelming joy at the image you just created or the great disappointment of a blank negative. But I am a little perturbed by the spread of lomos in pop culture. Urban Outfitters has an entire section dedicated to these "crappy camera's". Is this main stream spread a good thing or not? I'm just not sure. Some have said to me that film is dead and this is the last hope for it to stay alive. Which I kind of agree with. I have personally owned a Holga for several years now which only came in black but now you can purchase it to match your urban outfitters latex pants. I just don't know how to feel about it.

But I will always have pinhole photography. That will never be commercialized. I think.
What is a Pinhole Camera?
A pinhole camera is a small, light-tight can or box with a black interior and a tiny hole in the center of one end. See illustrations below. You can design it to accept roll or sheet film. The two ends of the camera are parallel. The end opposite the pinhole is flat so that the film is held in a flat plane. The pinhole has a cover to prevent light from entering the camera when you aren't taking a picture.

Introductions are always best
Instead of describing myself I have decided to post some of my favorite videos on YouTube:
