Say Hello to My Little Lomo

I got it. I'd been staring at lomography.com for the last couple days, and I finally bit the bullet today and took the subway in to the city to hit B&H, that fantastic sprawling photog paradise in midtown. One Visa card and three Hasidic Jews later, I was out on the streets with a heavy little package wrapped in brown paper.

I love the thing. Simple design, solid metal construction, feels sturdy and substantial in your hand. Not to rag on my Elph, but there's definitely something satisfying about an actual film camera, about that mechanical click and tremble you get with the shutter closes. It feels real. It feels pure.

Of course, we'll have to see how my pictures turn out...
