To see strangers stare at your work. Take a closer look. Think about it. And laugh. For real. They weren't trying to be nice. They had no idea who I was. And they didn't even know I was standing behind them observing. Okay. I have to admit. It felt good to see people smile at my work like that. Not as an ego stroke. Just that they got it and laughed. It was the highlight of my trip. SHARE THE BLUR SPRING CLEANING TOY CAMERA RAFFLE On Friday, April 8th, I'll be raffling off three toy cameras that have been sitting on my shelf, just waiting to be used. All names will be placed in a hat and I'll pick one name for each camera. Each camera will come with a roll of 120 film to get you started on your road to blur. Shipping included. International or domestic--no matter. Anyone who is a member of toycamera.com or photoblogs.org is eligible. What to do? Send an email with the words "RAFFLE" in the subject line to outafocus1@earthlink.net. Include your name, blog address and/or handle at tc.com. don't forget to write RAFFLE in the subject line Also, if for some reason you only want to be entered in one or two of the camera raffles instead of all three, please specify which camera you'd like in your email. Thanks! The list of the cameras for raffle: 1.DIANA DELUXE. Works perfectly, but the knob broke off so I had to create a new one out of this and that. I had to use a lot of velcro and black tape to stop some light leaks, so the winder isn't as smooth as it was originally. She's not the prettiest Diana, but she works well. 2. EMPIRE JUNIOR. The Empire junior is considered a toy camera with a glass lens, so the the results look more like a holga than diana. It has some nice vignette effects and minor blur. The lock doesn't always work on the bottom, so I use rubberbands and tape to assure that there are no light leaks. Besides that, the camera works like a charm. 3. JSOLY. Mint condition from what I can see, but I bought it on a whim and never got around to using it. And who knows when I will, so someone should. The Jsoly is a scaled down version of the Isoly. It has a glass lens, but gets some nice blurry effects and vignettes.
