Like a Fish out of Water

Perhaps some of you have already heard of Lomography, a company based in Vienna that sells art cameras, such as the Diana Mini or this cool fisheye camera that I bought back in February (as a birthday gift to myself). Well, I’ve been carting around the first roll of film since Illusion left Hilton Head Island and only recently developed it. Unfortunately, the film canister popped open in my purse (several times), overexposing a few of the images, but I still managed to get a few cool shots out of the roll.

This camera has several cool features, which I thought would work well on the boat: the curved lens captures 170 degrees, it is plastic and therefore less fragile than my digital camera, I can double expose images or leave the shutter open for an extended period of time, and I bought it with the underwater-housing case. I envisioned using it to document our journey south, putting together a small look-book about our journey after the completion of our trip – perhaps I will still do so. After all, I am pleased with the results of my first experimental run. What do you think?

    Lara, thanks for the pictures, #4 looks like a picture off the deck at the Yacht Club at Hilton Head Island, looking out over the marsh to Broad Creek, am I correct.
    Sorry that some of them got over exposed as you stated. Please send some pictures
    from your anchorage or when you are docked now, it would be great to see more or your talent and some of your current surroundings, keep up the good work. Thanks

    Lara,

    For the life of me . . . I cannot figure out where Brian is cooking! Picture number five.

    We miss “Lara’s sauce,” and I miss my lunch buddies!
