yesterday was "a day in the life..." for fall. i must have taken 100 pictures yesterday. it was fun going through them. majority was taken with the harinezumi or the vq1015. i just love both those cameras. beth and i took the kids to chuck e cheese and it was fun. we went super early and hardly anyone was there.

makes me uncomfortable

i hate watching hoarders. it makes me feel like i can't breathe. i could totally be a hoarder and i can see myself spiraling out of control the way these people have. it's scary it really is.

all about the cake

i love pictures of the sky. i especially like lomo style images of sky. my new vistaquest vq1015 is an awesome camera. it literally shoots digital images exactly like a lomo lc-a. i love it! there is no lcd for viewing photos so i don't know what i'm going to get until i download the images to my computer. so it's kind of like when you wait to get film developed. great camera. i wish i would have discovered it before the digital harinezumi. i would have saved myself some money. but i never would have found this little gem if i hadn't bought the harinezumi. go figure.

anyway i'm totally into the lo-fi photography. the more grain and blur the better!

i got the vistaquest vq1015 today. the first few shots i'm in love with. definitely a lomo feel to them. i'm so pleased. i've been feeling up and down lately, sometimes all in the same day. it's exhausting. emailed in sick today, feel like crap. i hate being sick. i know it's from smoking too many cigarettes. i don't even know why i have been lately. i hate smoking. something to do i guess.

for some reason i felt really good today. i worry when i start to feel good because i'm afraid it's the beginning of a hypomanic phase. so far though i haven't had any racing thoughts or sleeping less. usually when i'm in hypomanic phase i want to create create create. and i haven't really felt that way. so maybe i was just in a good mood. isn't it sad that i have to doubt my sanity just because i'm feeling good?

hang my socks on the monkey parade

i shot this in kmart as we were walking by. taken with a cheap $3 mini digital camera. i like the way it turned out. nice colors and the crop it good too. i shoot these totally random, not seeing to line up the shot or to view it as soon as it's been taken. i have to wait to see them once i download them to my computer. i'm starting to really like this process. my poor d200 dslr is wondering what the hell is going on!

i bought a 3 dollar mini digital camera today and after much wrangling and scheming i got it to work on my little netbook. the pictures are interesting. they have a texture to them that i find unusual. it also takes pretty good images in low light. i like that alot. so i'm officially a toy digital cam junkie. can't wait for my vistaquest vq1015 to get here!

got more bad news the other day and i'm beginning to wonder if my karma is all jacked up. i mean at what point does this become a farce, a comedy? because i'm so ready for it to be over. it's literally been going on for years, two to be exact. and i don't know how much more i can take. all i can say is thank god for my psychiatrist and the lovely meds she has me on. without them i don't think i could function. really. i don't think i could make it out of bed without them. is that sad? i don't know, it's just a fact.

found out about another digital toy camera and proceeded to buy one off ebay. can't wait to get it but it's coming form hong kong so it will be a week or more before it gets here. i can't wait. the images i've seen taken with this little camera are amazing. even more impressive than the harinezumi. although shooting with the harinezumi is fun because i just shoot everything. i loaded some 35mm film into my diana and will shoot some pics tomorrow and get them developed and scanned. i hope they turn out! i'm already worried about images i haven't even taken yet. so sad!

i got a new little toy camera that shoots digital! i was all kinds of excited. the first pictures i shot turned out great. i've been carrying it with me everywhere and just shooting pictures of everything. i takes a micro sd card and it will shoot over 1500 images. also shoots video and i've been shooting a video a day just about. i love things that spark creativity. i adore the effect on the image when taken by a toy camera. i wish i could afford to get film developed hell i wish we had a decent lab around here. i refuse to take another roll of film to walmart!
