Why a toy camera?


I've been using digital cameras since it came out because of the convenience of not printing every picture and their amazing function to let you view your images on the spot. Also it's very timing to the technology now, where everything can be found in the internet. So you can simply just transfer all of your pictures to your desktop then upload them. It's just that easy.

And so, now I'm thinking why I really want to buy my own Lomo camera. Well, the first thing that came to my mind is the challenge to take pictures without seeing or knowing what will be the result each shot. That will actually be exciting for me, since you'd be able to learn from that and from there you'll know if you really have an eye for Photography. Also I'm the type of person who loves soft and dreamy looking pictures like what some Lomo cameras can produce in every image. Lastly, I want to have it for experience because I really think that having one is a unique experience in every moment you click the camera.

But of course, I considered how much I would spend for the printing and the films. I asked some people regarding where and how much is the printing. They told me that I could have it printed in Digiprint and it will cost me around Php 5.00 per print.

Although it may be expensive to have a film toy camera, I still believe that it will be a worth it experience. I'm really for it and I can't wait to have one soon! I also can't wait to go to the South later with my friends.
