DB007's photostream

London-based and shooting in film only because I have an irrational fear of digital, digits and diggers. I use the following mix of fairly low-tech cameras:

1. Olympus OM-10 from the late 70s - a gift from my Dad when he upgraded to digitial (and having realised the error of his ways I have refused to accept his demands that I give it back). I've taken this camera around the world and it amazes me the number of photographers I meet (normally carrying super expensive digital cameras) who look at the OM-10 longingly and tell me stories about how they had one, what a great a camera it is and how they wished they had never given it away (normally when they upgraded to digital).

2. Lomo LC-A - a frustratingly brilliant camera. You can take a roll of shite and it produces something beautiful and then when you think you have hit solid gold it produces absolute shite.

3. Holga - I'll be honest, I don't have a clue what I'm doing with this flimsy plastic contraption. Every time I press the shutter I'm left wondering whether it actually worked. I think the biggest secret about these cameras is that nobody else seems to know what they're doing with them either.

4. Horizon 202 panormaic camera - although I love this camera, it tried to aggravate me and for the very reason it is lying in pieces at home. Every month I think about buying a new one.

5. Yashica Electro 35 - I criminally underuse this fantastic camera. I have three of them. Yes, three. Why? Because I'm an idiot.

6. Ricoh GR1S (old film one, not new digital one) - the newest addition to the stable. A great clever little camera. I love it.
