I recently bought myself a Lomo Diana F+ Glow In The Dark camera. It is so awesome! I love it!
I recently got my first roll of film developed. I've posted the photos on my Flickr if you're interested in checking them out http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsayrdean/tags/diana/
It's a Medium Format camera, but I have a 35mm back for the camera that I'm using. Mostly because I have boxes and boxes filled with canisters of 35mm film, and I'd have to go out and buy medium format film to use. Also, it's much easier to find places that develop 35mm film than it is to find places that develop medium format film! And also because I love the sprocket holes you get in your photos when you use 35mm film in a medium format camera!
I just finished off another roll of film, but I haven't gotten in developed yet.
What is especially cool about having a glow in the dark camera is that it's just as fun to take pictures OF the camera than it is to take pictures WITH the camera!
What do you think of glow in the dark cameras? Are you into lomography? Do you think toy cameras are fun?

I love the Lomography cameras. I've been dying for Diana, but I want the dreamer (see photo) because I just love the color. I liked your photos on Flickr, you should try to do some of the double exposures and get one of those pieces that allow you to cover up part of the lens so you can make strange combinations of multiple exposure pictures. I've wanted one of these for a while, but I'm horrible about never getting my film developed so I haven't gotten one yet.

The last roll I took, I tried a lot of multiple exposures! I haven't gotten it developed yet, so I don't know they came out! I can't wait to see! I've only been shooting 35mm film so far. But I just bought some 120 film yesterday! I love the sprocket holes you get with the 35mm, but you don't get the vignetting that you get with 120 film! So I'm really excited about that!

I've just got a Holga recently, not try out yet.
about the sprocket holes, I think I'll love it.
I'll try it later, maybe this week, with a 35mm B/W film,
I love to develop the film myself, it's fun and you can control the film's grains and contrast. I'll post the photo once I got the photo. ^^

I LOVE lomography, i have a Holga and a Fisheye, as well as one with 4 lenses that takes pictures in succession. Thats in addition to my old Pentax SLR and a newer partially automatic SLR. I think the Holga has to to be my favorite.
The only thing that irks me is that these cameras are being sold asfashion accessories, especially the Diana and Holgas. They are being carried around by girls that are just into it because it is "hip". Ive had my cameras for forever, ive been taking pictures for forever. I despise that something i have invested so much time in learning is being sold at the mall so a bunch of teenagers can look bohemian.

I also have a Lomo Fisheye! Hahahaha... Yah, there's nothing more annoying than someone buying something they have no interest in or no idea how to use because it makes them look cool. Hopefully this trendy fad will be over soon.
