$.25 camera vs Lomo LCA+

I mean, head to head, we're either going to have to admit that the cheapo dude is somehow an accidentally good chinese camera, or that the extra $99.75 was all for some cool shadows, right guys? I really, really love my Lomo, and I'd pay at least $120 for those shadows. also, not totally fair, in that we're dealing with kodak 100 speed Elite Chrome film in the cheapo, and fuji 200 speed whatever chrome in the Lomo. I'll do some more side-by-sides in the future, we'll pepsi challenge it, sure 'nuff.

so, I bought a camera, for twenty-five cents.

how's about a twenty-five cent camera, a dollar sixty-six for film, and ten dollars for developing? one of these things is not like the others. in order: traveling 60 mph around a curve might not be the best time to take a picture, I'm angry that it's only crab apples in my yard, jason's el camino got lightning bolt tastic, across the street and back in time, emilie really likes the blue of the sky. all in all, my $100 camera takes better pictures. does it take 40,000% better pictures? yeah, actually. the quarter camera does have it beat on quick shots, though. things that I'd have to think about with the lomo, I can just aim at half assedly while driving with the cheapo. I think I'll keep it around so that I can take pictures out my car window or something, but I already feel like I've got my $.25 worth out of it.

continuing the summer of (moped kids) getting janky cars.

more cars were bought by my friends this summer (we're only half done!) than in the last three years. they're all interesting. jason steps it up with a 77 El Camino. I wish austin's mini-van wasn't in the first picture, so it looked like it was actually in 1977.

the cheyenne hybrid:

it burns gas AND rubber.
