it came today!

I received my leningrádskoje optiko mechanitschéskoje objediniénie today! My LOMO LC-A. I took a few test shots and sent the roll to Wal-mart for processing. I hate wal-mart, but here they serve a purpose: its not like they can screw up LOMO pictures.


I am a bit worried about my new toy. The counter is not working properly. It does not automatically set itself when the back of the camera is opened like it is supposed to. I checked various LOMO websites, faq’s and forums, but nothing has helped. Perhaps I will take it to a camera shop tomorrow.

Even if the counter never works, I’m sure it will not hurt anything. If nothing else, it will help me keep my shots random and unplanned. That’s the point, right?


Things I want to shoot:
Old neon signs
Bright colors
The male/female sign at Penn Station
A cherry blossom tree in full bloom
Autumn trees
Large groups of people
Clowns
Fire works
Lights. Lots of lights.
Wet paint
Lights reflected on a wet road
People in the lower bar at Brewer’s Art
The Charles.
Paper Moon
The Domino Sugar Sign
Tide Point
Fells
Looking up at Shot Tower
Flowers
Lots of people.
Strangers
My sister in her crazy red dress
Umbrellas
People with cool hats
The best shots are the ones not on that list, though. The more random, the better.

But for now, I’m not shooting anything. I’m going to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny and LOMO-idealic, and the guy at Penn or Ritz will help me fix my counter.
