Impatient

Just a short note to let you know I am still here.

Are you still there?

The days have been long and hot - until today. I am happy it rained.

I am waiting for 8 films to be developed, and I am impatient. I took my actionsampler to the beach, and at night went out with my Holga. With Diana I went on a stroll through Sofia, whereas the beautifully aged Agfa Isola accompanied me to Zagreb.

In the meantime more vintage beauties arrived. But everyone is still recovering from their long vacations, so I am not seeing much activity from my lomofriends here in Bulgaria.

Come on, girls and guys, wake up, go out, shoot, shoot, shoot!

Now the counting down continues. Will keep you posted on the new photos. Be assured I will continue to bother you with all things analogue....

More on its way

These days are strange days. I am not talking about the beginning of the twenty-first century. I mean these first days of August. They are tough for a lomofan. If the lomofan is based in Sofia, that is. It is either too hot to go outside (if you do, you and your camera, let alone that beautiful analog film inside risk melting). Or it is raining with some record high so-and-so-much-liters-of-water-per-square-meter (if you would go outside then you and camera would drown together with your famous last words).

What can one do apart from browsing the Internet, and seeking -and finding!- other lomofans and other great photography sites? Well, one can spend his hard earned pay on more cameras. I have found some great little beauties from the late fifties and early sixties, like the Agfa Isola and the Ilford Sporty.

I will let you know what they're like as soon as they're here. In the meantime I am happy to announce that the great lomo community here in Bulgaria is growing. Slowly but steadily. And even though technically the new old cameras that are on their way are not lomo or lomography, they are for sure lomo-like. They will open the eyes of new fans of the old old: analog. As for old fans: grab one while you can (I promise I won't keep them all for myself).

Take care, stay out of the heath, be careful of the rain, and I hope to see you soon to share some good photography news with you....
