Almost one month later and what’s happened?
Not much, sad to say, but enough to keep me going. I sold my Nikon D80 which was a relief. Because the price of imported goods in NZ is high, I made a large profit with the sale. I decided to treat myself to a Lomo, and last week it arrived.
Here’s a sample from my first roll:
I look so thin, someone, anyone, bake me cookies
The camera has a color splash flash attachment, so the color in my portrait is accurate (as far as the negative is concerned) because of the cyan splash. I’m happier with the Lomo’s results, even after the first roll.
I sold my D80 is because the quality of the photos was poor and without feeling. I found myself in Photoshop trying to fix everything and I would rather spend time taking pictures.
The only drawback of shooting film is the extra cost, but I think it’s worth it. Digital photography isn’t much of a hobby for me.

Hey Jiffry, how much does Lomo cost? It looks groovy.
P.S. I met your Kansas doppelganger last night. It was kinda scary… :-S

A doppelganger from Kansas? Who is this and where can I meet him?
The lomo package I bought was $420 USD, and it included lots of extra stuff. You can buy it for about $250 USD from shop.lomography.com and the shipping will be free. I think Wellington Photographic Services has a shipment of Lomo’s coming in as well, if you want it now.

Welcome back Jeff!!
I am rather alarmed at your skeletal appearance though….looks like you need some chocolate orange cake!

Hey
Don’t worry I think next week I’m getting brownies from a friend and last week my neighbor at work shared her delicious baked goods…

I’ll send you some. Look for them in the next couple of weeks. Would you like browniers, cookies or some of both?
