Hey Ramon!
I'm venturing back out into the greater Web world. It feels good.
I know that there are lots of artists that like to use toy cameras and pinholes just for character that their flaws add. I actually like using my point and shoot just because it's a limited tool. Sometimes it's fun and interesting to use a tool that's less than perfect. And I like a little plastic lens distortion for it's artistic flavor.
But you know the rule- the right tool for the job. I have visited the Lomo site too. I am curious. They seemed like fun- not like a replacement for the 35mm system. I'm also interested in these new cameras that Polaroid is marketing. They make tiny instant prints and come in a sticker form too.
Once again, I come from an artistic/philisophic left field. Hope that added something useful to someone. I think I'm going to buy one of those Polaroids to play with. I'll post some pictures on the ViweFinder page when I do!
