awaiting LC-A

I cannot wait for my camera to arrive. Troy coudn't keep it from me. He ordered it from Sweden, and we are still waiting for it. LC-A Lomo. how exciting. I love my Holga, but there really is nothing like the actual LOMO. Most of the lc-a's are Chinese reproductions, but this one is the actual Russian-made camera. It will be nice to use 35mm instead of having to find, buy, and develop 120. My Holga was a good start. I learned alot about "toy" cameras, but 120 is expensive, and hard to have developed (for those of us without the luxury of a dark room.)

Troy, on the other hand, got a rebel XT. Not quite an LC-A, but I'm pretty sure he is happy. beyond happy.

He is an amazing photographer. don't tell him i said that. I, however, am not. I'll admit it. Thats why i love lomography so much. there is a method, but you don't have to have a method. the less method you follow, the better the shots. troy is just happy to be able to use raw files in aperture. I'm just happy to open and close the shutter and then see what happens.

the lc-a should be here by thursday. we shall see.
