Going Retro With Plastic Camera.

One day I leave the fancy technology at home and shoot with my two plastic camera.
No computers, no exposure compensation, no thousand dollar lenses, auto-focus or any of the gadgets.  Just you and roll of film and a chunk of plastic camera and lenses with a hole in it.What you’ll learn is how to compose a shot when there is no second chance.  No chance to look at the photo you get and try again.  To make corrections while you’re still able to retake the shot.  You have to get it right the first time.
Images from my plastic camera:

There are Lomographic galleries, stores and what they call embassies dedicated to the art of low end photography.  There’s even a magazine.  They have their own set of non-rules.
Carry the plastic camera with you all the time, take pictures of everything and nothing.  Be fast, don’t think just shoot and have fun.
