I love getting a bit too courageous at a party, making a drunk spinner photo and getting a completely non-exposed negative back. Everyone was really excited though, that unique contraption blew everyone's mind. I love getting back pictures where you have to think for half a day what the hell it is you got on film there. Most of all, I love how I don't get why I like this stupid Lomography stuff. It's impractical, I'm carrying three cameras at once, worrying about films once again, getting back terrible pictures I could have done a thousand times better with a cheap telephone camera in a heartbeat. I hate the impulse of wanting to photograph the good stuff you experience, because the best way to ruin a wonderful moment is to try and capture it on film. Yeah, if you're really fucking lucky you might have an okay picture to remember the moment that you don't really remember because you were too busy scurrying for your camera, good job, proud of you. But still, still, I caught myself ordering another camera, showing hardly interested friends the pictures I took, spending too much money on stuff I really, really didn't need. So yeah, I guess the point is, I really, really hate this stuff. Except for when I don't. Because there still is no substitute for the feeling you have when you get to collect your new photos from the lab.
