Back from my holiday! A few pictures and a post on that will follow.

For Jo, of Eye Heart Glasses fame, I wanted to post a picture of my new nerd glasses.

Nerd glasses because they do look kinda nerdy, but more because I apparently need to wear them while uing the computer and reading, to stop my eyes doing funny things when I’m not nerding.

They are Tom Ford something something, men’s ones, but I think they look good so doesn’t worry me. 

Thanks Jo for recommending Occhiali, it was such an awesome experience going through them and I was able to get my glasses duty free too – bonus.


If you can’t get it fixed in time… Buy another?

I picked up a new Diana F+ clone today, Glow. It looks yellow on the lomography site, but it’s actually lime green and white. The flash unit looks a whole lot better on my Edelweiss camera too – because it’s white. 

The top of the camera has glow in the dark stars printed on it! Stars! Reminiscent of my tweenage days, when my ceiling was plastered with greenish glow in the dark stars.I’m delighted.

You can see the camera in this photo. it’s over to the left. Picture is me experimenting with the viewfinder that goes with the Diana fisheye lens and my cellphone. Fauxfisheye?

Fiji tomorrow, I’m just taking my cellphone and my new friend glowie. And a stash of film 🙂


“We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.”

Really sad that I’m going to be in sunny Fiji next week, and both of my little babies are broked.

So there will be no fancy lomopictures for me this trip. I’m considering buying a few disposables, or maybe getting a cheap holga or fisheye from one of the shops I’ve seen around Auckland stocking them.

Hate the thought of going photo-less.

This photo was taken on a Lomography Fisheye No. 2, by girl_anachronism on Fuji 400 film in Fiji.
