What a beautiful collection of light leaks! Everyone in the photos look like they're having so much fun, what brilliant moments of time captured forever on film.

We particularly love the first three, which are the result of a film swap with Mephisto19. The colours and the double exposures are stunning.

Inge also has a very envious collection of cameras, which you can check out on her Flickr stream :)

Inge took up analog photography again a year ago, when she fell in love with her Diana F+ CMYK. Before that she had been using a digital camera for years and long before that a Praktica B200 that her dad gave her when she was 15.

She says: "My love for analog photograpy grew so much, that I started collecting cameras. I also started experimenting: cross processing, double exposures and a film swap.




I find inspiration by looking at pictures from other photographers on Flickr, in street art, by looking at clouds or trees and in many other things. Also, I feel like I still have a lot to learn. And that's a good thing! :)"

Make sure to check out her Flickr and her LomoHome :)

We're absolutely in love with some of the photography related items for sale in the Photojojo store :)

We're particularly attracted to the shot glasses (as collectors) and the lens bracelets, which are pretty much the ultimate in geek chic! With delivery to the UK it would be just over £30 for both of these, so we're trying to work out if it's worth it. Thoughts?

What an amazing collection of light leaks! Beautiful.

New Cameras!

It's been a while since we posted anything that wasn't a photographer feature, so I thought I'd take you through a few of the cameras I've bought recently.

These were all bought from ebay. I had my reservations buying cameras from ebay at first, but as these were all new ones in the original packaging I figured it was ok!

Pop Cam

from kitschretro

I also bought my Split-Cam from this seller, as well as a few films.

Cutie 35mm Jelly Toy Film Camera

from iteenstore2012

I originally bought this in purple but they'd run out so I chose a pink one instead. I also accidentally bought 2 cameras but they were very helpful in cancelling one of the orders. A much recommended seller :)

Holga 35mm Compact Camera K200N

from holga_universal

I got the black one, which isn't actually shown on the item listing but they contacted me to find out which colour I wanted and told me they also had black, which is what I went for. 

Waterproof 35mm Film Underwater Camera

from wangdecheng9898

I don't really know what I was thinking when I bought this, I'm never near any water to actually use it! It was an absolute bargain though at only £1.76, and I'm sure I can just use it as a normal camera.

Most of these cameras are still in their packaging because I just haven't had time to go out and take photos. I'm hoping with the long easter weekend I'll have the chance though :)

So that's it for now. There's still a lot of cameras on my wishlist (you can see it over there >>>) but I really feel I should try out the ones I have before buying anymore!

There's a lovely quality to Tina's photos, part of the beauty of shooting film.
