This is a delusion I long to break through - if I could only find a young lady to photograph, realising my ideal of beauty... I feel sure that I could shake off this cold, philosophic lethargy.</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">from "A Photographer's Day Out" by Charles Dodgson, 1860</span><br /><br />Charles Dodgson is more commonly known as Lewis Carroll. As well as writing Alice in Wonderland, Carroll was also a mathematician, logician and photographer. You can see some of his work <a href="http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait.php?LinkID=mp63189&page=1&rNo=0&role=sit">here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7515695857041543999-3004680348724331451?l=gsfotographics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gouravhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12925394982857999016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515695857041543999.post-13393586800453267862008-11-18T15:02:00.000-08:002008-11-18T15:24:48.838-08:00NK-700On the trip to JT, I picked up a nifty little camera called a Ninoka NK-700. It looks (and feels) like an Holga but it shoots 35mm film. The aperture is variable from f/6 to f/16 with corresponding pictures from clouds to sunshine!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_40V83is074M/SSNK3FikItI/AAAAAAAAAB8/M4Wjuqtyv78/s1600-h/NK-700.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 206px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_40V83is074M/SSNK3FikItI/AAAAAAAAAB8/M4Wjuqtyv78/s400/NK-700.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270138299194024658" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />I used this camera on a trip to the Salton Sea over the weekend. The images have a very Lomo esque feel to them, but slightly distinctive. This toy camera was fun to shoot with.
