I got a new camera last week - a Sprocket Rocket from my favorite camera store, Lomography. As you'll see, this camera is a panoramic cam that exposes the entire frame, including the sprockets. It gives the shots a kind of built-in framing and a little bit of vignette that looks FUCKING AWESOME.

I love the Lomo cameras, I've bought six of them and given four of them away so far, because they're so user-friendly that anyone can throw in a roll of 35mm and get cool photos.

Despite their protestations, analog is definitely not the future. Of course, that's no concern of mine. I'm in it for the art, and Lomo analog cameras make good art.

They had a short workshop on the Sprocket Rocket cameras last Sunday, a real basic how-to taught by one of their very sincere shopkeepers. These are from the first couple rolls I shot on the camera, I'm really happy with them. A few were underexposed, but this is fantastic results for my first go.
