A Product Review (My First).

To start. I'm gonna send a shout out to my girl Carolyn and her blog. Carolyn is my sister Marlena's best friend and recently moved here. Her blog, unlike mine, has some coherence and a main theme: Motherhood. She apparently checks up on this blog here and is one of my (approximate) 4 readers, which is nice of her to humor me. Hi, Carolyn!

In other news, I got a Lomography Fisheye 2 (notice the TRIPLE LINK ACTION!) camera last Thursday. It's only the most fun thing ever. Lomography is all about taking fun photos and not being serious. Because in all seriousness, who needs seriousness?

This camera is capable of multiple exposures, and has a setting that will keep the shutter open longer for night shots. In addition to the built in flash, I also bought the colorsplash flash which can flash not only white light, but 12(!!!) different colors. Also, the Fisheye 2 is a film camera (I can honestly almost hear you thinking "Film? What is this, 1998?"). But film is cool to me...it feels simpler and more fun with film in the "Digital Era."

There is little doubt that some of you are thinking that this camera is not only unimpressive but a complete waste of effort, time, and money. That's okay. I'm already used to confused looks and questions of "Why?" from any number of persons. Just last night my brother Wade called it "just a little novelty thing," which clearly leads me to believe that not only does he not get it but he doesn't even like the idea of it. But if you're feeling in the dark about the whole thing check the About Section of the Lomography website. There you'll find that it's seriously all about capturing how fun and simple life is.

The film is being developed right now, so I won't have any photos up from my maiden photo-taking voyage until, at the earliest, Wednesday. But hopefully I will get to the point of posting, with regularity, my fisheye photos.

Now that I've officially plugged the crap out of that camera (maybe I'll get a check from Lomography?) I'm gonna go ahead and check out.

I just realized how many links there are in this post. That's kind of impressive. Or a bit ridiculous.
