Juice Box Camera



This is one of my newest cameras and one of my favorites! At first I was a little weary because I thought that it might not take very good pictures just because it was so simple. But man I was wrong. Who ever said simple was a bad thing! I was pleasantly surprised with the results of this little camera. In my opinion this is the PERFECT camera if you like the idea of film photography but don't want to commit and spend all the money and hours looking up the know how of it ALL. It's a simple little point and shoot camera that is so easy to use and yields some amazing results. Both of my favorite online stores carry them HERE and THERE. Also, I found THIS little review about it's awesomeness.

Good things:
-Easy peasy lemon squeezy to use!
-35mm
-Fixed settings, so you don't have to worry about adjusting. Just point and shoot!
-Super oober adorable.
-Nice and small so it can fit in your purse with out taking up all the space. I guess it could fit in your pocket, if you really wanted it too.
-Has awesome light leaks for a lovely lomography feel to it.
-Super affordable! its only 25$! (I seriously want to collect them all!)

Not so good things:
-Fixed settings, you get the same result every time. not very versatile if your photography savvy.
-No flash= no night time use
-Its small so my finger ended up in a couple of them. But now I know don't clobber it with my hunky fingers.

Go get yourself one of these cameras and just keep it in your purse...um, or pocket. Don't forget to follow rule #1. Take your camera everywhere you go. You'll thank me later once your walls are filled with lovely photos from your juice box camera.

Diana Mini


I love all my cameras but my MINI has to be one of my all time favorites. It was my first ever lomography camera! Lots of trail and error with this one. There are so many cool things about this camera. But the coolest thing, is just the way is looks. It almost looks like it shouldn't work. That maybe its just a toy. But it does work and takes amazing photos! Here is a list of pros and cons, according to Remi.

Good things:
- Its 35mm, easy to get developed
-Super compact and travels easily
-Has two format settings (half or square) which basically means you can cram a whole lotta pictures on a roll of film when you're only shooting half frame.
-Compatible with Diana flash

Not so good things:
-Its so little that the flash makes it top heavy and awkward to handle
-The parts inside are so delicate and small that its easy to break

Here are some pictures I've taken with the mini. Unfortunately I was a little rough and broke my advance wheel. So, my little lady is out of commission. But I still got some good pictures out of it and now I have an excuse to buy THIS one.

Blackbird Fly


If you know me you know that I love lomography, plastic cameras and film photography! So, I thought I would take a minute to write about the BLACKBRID FLY, twin lens reflex camera. This is one of my favorites in my lil'collection. I never really take my photography seriously, I'm more of a point and shoot kinda gal and see what kinda results I get. Although I always make sure to take the lens cap off.

Reasons why I'm in love:
- Sprocket holes. I have yet to use this feature, but just knowing that its an option is awesome.
-35mm film format. You can get it developed pretty much anywhere.
-Twin lens! Because twins are always better!

Reasons why you might not be in love:
-Kinda tricky to load.
-A bit pricy
-limited colors (comparing to other flashy plastic cameras out there.)

Here are some pictures that I've taken with my lil'bird. I like how these photos turned out, but I was silly and loaded some red scale film. So you totally can't tell that the rocks are bright red, but I still like they way they turned out.
