Next Lomo for TeyTey...










This thing is pretty epic and I'm in awe at almost every photo I see taken. A must have for my collection. I look forward to using it at music events and traveling mostly.

It uses standard 35mm film, yields a super wide 58mm picture, a full view of 120 degrees, with a “barrel effect” that only a swing lens can provide. The Horizon Kompakt and Perfekt are both the only Russian panoramic cameras produced today, and the only truly affordable panoramic cameras.

Check some wicked shots some other lomographers have taken:

History of Lomography

I found this awesome video on Vimeo that a student made, animating the history of one of my favorites brands/cameras. Such great illustration, motion design and music mixing! I think it makes for a fun introduction to the brand.

Check out Lomography.com to see photos, browse & shop cameras, the cult community and more.

My New Lomo..

The Diana Mini!













I just got it so I dont have any photos to share, but I have been carrying it around with me everywhere and snapping away constantly. As advertised, it's tiny. It resembles what you would think is literally a toy, even a co-worker joked "What are you gonna shoot me in the face with water, this is a joke right?!" I love it!

I loved the idea of a camera performing multiple tasks. The Diana Mini shoots half-frame shots at 24x17 for an amazing 72 shots per roll and/or normal 24x24 shots at 36 shots per roll. Being able to go back and forth is key.

This will be the only analog camera accompanying me in Seattle this weekend so look at for pics coming soon. Woop!

Vegas

What a weekend.. Drew & Pam's wedding, bachelor/bachelorette parties + Matt's birthday and his first time in Vegas. 4 days of heavy drinking, lack of sleep, hot-as-fuck desert heat and good good times. I brought just about every camera out with me, but didn't go as crazy as I expected. I blame physical conditions. Check out a preview of some pics, and click the links below the set to see more on Flickr.

The Fourth

Such a blast! It was a warm, beautiful day in LA, especially here at the beach, so we took advantage by having some of our best friends over for some grillin' and chillin'. When we were full and drunk we hiked the Ballona Creek bike path towards the Marina for the firework show. We didn't get all the way down, as expected, so we stopped between the 90 fwy ramp and Lincoln to watch and also do our own fireworks and sparklers. I brought my LX3 and Lomo Ringflash to capture the action. Here are some pics of the us... Lomo daytime pics to come.

The Real Culver City Beer Fest

In months leading up to the actual Culver City Beer Fest, the first ever in LA, we had been planning to attend without thought. In the days leading up, after getting a large group of friends interested, it sold out at a whopping $40 per person! We started really giving thought to how much they were charging for 3 hours of taste testing, knowing there would be massive lines and crowds that could barely make our $40 worth it.
We decided to get all the same heads interested to make a better beer fest at the teytey/knyphy house. Being that it was sold-out, it sounded like such a better idea (i.e. bass music, chronic, chill house- helloooo?!!) It worked out quite nice. We made our way to the beverage warehouse (local favorite for kind beers and wines) and got our faves. Here the list of beers we all sampled, along with pics of the eve.

Moylans Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale
Abita Purple Haze Wheat Beer
North Coast Brewing Co. Pranqster Belgian Ale
