Today I found everything you are supposed to find in a thrift store. The camera cost $2.45. I think it is a lenticular camera. Or 3D as it self advertises. I’m sure lenticular printing is pretty expensive but hopefully the film will look cool processed regularly. I assume it’s like a Lomography Action Sampler (mine is broken). I found a flickr group for the Nishika here. It seems people are just scanning the pictures, making them ‘3D’ in Photoshop and exporting them as animated gifs. I don’t really care to do any of that. I just like adding odd cameras to my collection. The best part of the camera might be that it’s spokesman was Vincent Price. You can check it out on YouTube.

It was in the 90s today. I love LA.

I found a half roll of film from my time in Italy in 2004. Perhaps waiting so long gave it this nice tinge.

Still Life Photography by Owen Silverwood.

I saw these in the San Francisco airport last week. The artist is JeongMee Yoon from South Korea. I thought they were really cool. You can see more pictures on the artist’s website. Girls in pink and boys in blue. The children are adorable.

I received an email announcement about a new show at one of my favorite photography stores in Hollywood:

The Photographic Dictionary.

This is a lovely site of photos organized like a dictionary. There are many different styles of photography to be found here and I believe the project is still growing. I love the wabi sabi feel of the site. I have always favored super simple web design; especially when showcasing photographs. Lately I have been a big fan of group projects.

I built this light box from a cardboard box, a big piece of white stock paper, two handkerchiefs and a clamp light. The light bulb is an eco friendly sunlight bulb. We picked that Meyer Lemon on a fallen fruit walk through Silverlake last week.

I started a new project today. It will be a collaboration with themes and everything!
