A new hobby

I need a new hobby.

Why?

I spend way too much of my time dwelling. And now, I can't even distract myself by being a gym junkie, for reasons which are probably too personal for me to display here.

Moving on...

So, anyway, I've already decided what my new hobby will be - lomography. You can read about it here.

I hate being in front of the camera, but I am quite fond of being behind one. And this will also satisfy my artistic streak which has, sadly, been put on the backburner for quite some time now. Even my writing has suffered a huge lapse, but I am slowly getting back into the rhythm of things.

I don't know if I'm going to be any good at this lomography business, but I'm planning to conduct it with two types of cameras.

The first is a Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 camera, which is basically a remake of the good ol' Polaroid. I just purchased one from this Australian-based site: www.lofico.com.au. I'm quite excited about trying it out.

The second, which I have yet to acquire, is the Holga 120N. It's a medium format camera that has a cult following among many a photography enthusiast. I'm jumping on the bandwagon because I've been looking through countless photos taken with a Holga 120N on flickr and I'm sold on the idea.

Of course, being a complete novice, I do expect a huge learning curve here. But I've always been interested in photography, so I hope that I get past the stage of utter discouragement I know I'll go through when learning how to use this camera, and get some great results for my portfolio.

On another note: boys suck.

That's all from me.
