End of a Technology

A Reuters article at MSNBC discusses Kodak’s decision to end 35mm and APS cameras.

But the Rochester-based company will continue to sell one-time use cameras in the West and expand its sales of these and other film-based cameras and supplies in markets such as China, India, and Latin America, where demand is on the rise.

So, my current love of 35mm film is gonna start getting expensive, I think. A while back Kelly turned me onto Lomography.com and I’ve purchased several film-based cameras since then — most from this site like the original Lomo (which is almost always in my pocket), the Colorsplash (featured here last week), the SuperSampler and the ActionSampler (which I now realize I need to upgrade to the ActionSampler Flash ). I did not buy my 3D camera from Lomo but I saw it there first and found the original Korean manufactured version.

Here’s my favorite pictures from each of these cameras (except the Action Sampler which has yet to produce a picture I will admit to taking.)

I hope to add several hundered more pictures to my collection while I’m in Hawaii this next week. (Did I mention I’m going to Hawaii, yet?)
