A very fisheye Disneyland

Our Lomography fisheye camera (the #1, which they no longer make in the color + model we have) is special not only for it's 170 degree range but also because it was the first toy camera in our camera collection. Though it may not be heavy in the rotation, it's still fun to take out and shoot with, as it was on this October day we spent at the Happiest Place on Earth.

Here they are, in chronological order throughout the day. Enjoy °o°

Theatres by Diana

In the fall of 2009 I shot the following photographs with my Diana F+ toy camera. The ultimate in low-fi unpredictability, it's always interesting see how the photos will turn out. Here are the results, straight out of the camera... light leaks and all.

Disneyland by Holga

I know I've mentioned before how much I love Disneyland. What I want to emphasize today, though, is how perfect a relationship my Holga and Disneyland have. It is by far my favorite camera to take to the park.

With this weekend's official opening of Cars Land comes a whole new adventure for the Holga and I, and I'm eager for it.

It's Leap Day!!

I love Leap Day. Always have. It is enchanting, a special day. I anticipate it tremendously and am going to make it memorable.

In celebration of February 29, 2012, Disneyland is open for 24 hours. I love Disneyland, almost as much as I love Leap Day. And although I won't be spending my day there, I've a few photographs from previous visits to share of this magical place on this magical day. Happy Leap Day, everyone.
