A few months ago I asked if any of my friends if they were interested in having pictures taken and my friend, GC, said he would be getting a tattoo done in June and would I like to photograph that. I said, “sure.” So last week I did my first tattoo shoot – it was really cool and I got some interesting shots of the tattoo process. Warning: some people may find tattoo photographs to be of a graphic nature. Read the rest of this entry »

Last week I had to opportunity to do some photos for an event at the NAC. I was really excited about the chance to do some photography for the afternoon of a beautiful day. It was a really wonderful event complete with a RCMP officer singing O Canada and traditional First Nations singers opening the event and singing while dancers danced.

This weekend I tested a p&s camera for my Mum who was looking for a new little camera for upcoming holidays. The criteria were that it needed to have a viewfinder, use rechareable batteries, be 8.0MP or higher and come with a good rating in Consumer Report.

As I’ve mentioned before my love for toy cameras started when I received a fisheye2 from my aunt, Kate Pocock, for Christmas. Since then I have received many toy cameras as gifts and have purchased them for myself.

Most recently, I purchased a BBF (see previous blog) and am now waiting for it to arrive! This morning when I was getting ready for work I was reading another blog, I enjoy but haven’t visited for a while, and read about a new Holga! The Holga TLR & GTLR – a holga with a waist level view finder. It looks really cool – although it is not for sale on the lomography website yet 0 it seems that it has been released in Hong Kong and no surprise is readily available on ebay.
I have 2 holgas in my collection…but could always use a third…
