POTM: Sit Long Talk Much

So I have a new camera and a new hobby. If you haven’t heard of lomography, it’s a new movement of photography that emphasizes analogue methods and experimentation. You can buy lomograph cameras for cheap, less than $100. I recently picked up a La Sardina 35mm film camera, and it’s been awesome. I’ve taken more pictures in the past two weeks than I have in years.

The only frustrating part is having to wait for the film to develop. But I guess the anticipation is part of the fun. Fortunately, when you take it to the lomograph shop, they scan in the film after they develop it, so you’re able to post the photos to the web or share them with friends. All in all, pretty cool. I guess nothing really becomes cool until it goes out of style at least once.

This shot was taken on a hutong adventure the other day, and I don’t think you can argue with the sagacity of the advice.
