Lou Pai is in Hawaii with 350 million in the bank

So I've watched "Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room" and man, the way they did it astounds me... they booked profits for things that would happen, not that did....

Anyway, I dunno if its guilt over getting a new DSLR and liking it (I believed that digital would be the death of film, and still kinda do...) or because I've finally come to believe like most people that consumerism will make me happy, but I've found a handful of cameras on www.lomography.com that I really want.

The Bulldog field camera: a build-it-yourself field camera, costs a quarter as much as most of the leading brands, which means I can get it sooner... http://shop.lomography.com/bulldog/


The Dalek Supersampler: its the only reason I could conceive of buying 35mm anymore... it shoots 4 consecutive negatives in one frame, which I think has some majorly cool implications. http://shop.lomography.com/dalek/


The Red & Gold Seagull: Well, its a magnificent TLR, and its just plain sexy besides that. http://shop.lomography.com/seagull/


The Diana F+: This is it. The mother of all toy cameras, and its the one I first cut my teeth on in the toy-camera world. Dimes to donuts, a Diana beats a Holga any day. And this one has all kinds of nice features that the original didn't. http://www.lomography.com/diana/diana-f-camera


Yeah, so if you feel like alleviating my guilt over getting a new DSLR or fueling my materialistic inner desires, let me know, 'cuz these things ain't paying for themselves.


Oh yeah, and here's a better version of the image from the last post, coated in wax:
