Picture making, the fun way

I first heard about this camera a little over a year ago, and I'm still geeking out over it. My momma had the nerve to call me a nerd for that. Joke's on her, I come by it honestly.

This is Lytro. I won't say everything it does, or how it does it, but I can say that it is amazing. Not only does it allow you to change the focus after the picture has been captured, but it also enables you to change the angle of the shot.  I need to stop, before I get too technical.

Needless to say, I like the red one which also happens to be have the highest capacity and is the most expensive of the line.

Now for the good news/bad news part.

Good news: Lytro ships to the United States of America.

Bad news: Lytro only ships to the United States of America.

Good news (again!): Lytro provides a list of international resellers by country.

Buy online through Lytro for $399-499.

A Kodak Moment

Yesterday, I told you guys that I had recently dumped milk on my digital camera.

I didn't tell you that that was the end of my digital camera's life. You probably figured that out on your own.

Just a day or so after the demise of my digital camera, though, I was to go see my mom and shop. I called her and asked her to find my old film camera if she could, and bring it to me.

And she did! It was very exciting. I have an old Kodak KB-10. It's extremely basic. Opening the lens cover also turns on the flash. It takes two AA batteries (which were still in the camera and still operational when I received it) and uses standard 35mm film.

One of my favorite things about film camera is getting the pictures developed. You can do the one-hour development thing, I suppose, but the best option is to send the film off. It is an exciting day when my pictures arrive in the mail! I like never knowing exactly what I'm going to get, and I like getting mail. It's perfect.

Digital cameras are expensive, so I think I'll stick with film for now. I can't wait to use this roll up.

Buy your own (used) Kodak KB-10 through Ebay for $5-15.00.
