SquareBlog

I came across Photojojo some time about a year ago. The first thing that struck me, after the gorgeous design, was just how cool the site was. It is full of great little crafty hints and tricks to make the most of your images.

Admittedly, most of the site’s articles are geared towards digital camera users, there is still enough there to keep film photographers busy. For example, there are instructions for making photo blocks, CD jewel case photo frames, DIY wide angle lens, etc..

I strongly suggest you take a look through the archive, and work your way through. If you like what you see, subscribe! I did, and I don’t regret it!

The Toycam Handbook by members of toycamera.com

I first discovered the ‘Toycam Handbook’ shortly after buying my first Holga. I’d just been introduced to a world of plastic toy cameras and I was so intrigued I had to learn more. The book starts off by introducing the reader to over 20 different toy cameras - including the Diana, the Fujipet, and the Holga 120FN. Each camera has its own page featuring a glorious colour photo, example images and specifications for the geeky folk amongst us (I proudly include myself in that category).

It’s likely that updates are going to be few and far between for a while, but it’s for a good reason. I’m in the process of buying my first house, and my head is all over the place trying to sort out the mortgage, surveyors, and solicitor fees! But today I found out the the vendors have agreed to my offer on their house! Woo hoo! So sorry for the lack of updates, but I hope you’ll all understand.
