I think it's neither "clever" nor "good". No, the word to describe this is "hipster". It's basically high-tech lomography. Lo-fi photography that lets you be seen using a "vintage" film camera. (And make no mistake, being seen taking photos this way is at least as important as the photos you get. Probably more. That said, if it inspires people to try something new then I say they should go for it. Whatever the pros and cons of the thing I wouldn't be surprised if some people make some good art with it and have fun to boot. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
