The postman arrived today with a book titled ‘Toy Cameras’ by Kevin Meredith (aka lomokev). As I was having (just another) hell-ish day at work, I couldn’t wait til I get home to sip some coffee (no beer!) and enjoy browsing it. It is a very nicely designed book, filled with lots of information about toy cameras as well as lots and lots of photos taken by those cameras.
Ahem! Ermm … I was invited to contribute some photos for the Diana Multi Pinhole camera section! 😀 It feels so awesome to be part of this because in the book … there are tons of super awesome photos by toy camera lovers all over the world. Ermm … I don’t mean to say that mine is one of those but ermm … it is just great to be part of it. 😀
You will also find lots of very very cool photos by the author himself. I got super inspired to go out and snap more photos after a quick browse thru the pages. What I find strange is that cameras like the Lego digital camera and the Lensbaby Composer are included too. I was actually expecting all analogue toy cameras but then the book title didn’t mention anything about analogue cams only … so I guess it was just my fuzzyeyeballs at work (again).
For those who love toy cameras and are interested to grab a copy of this very interesting book … you can check out more info in Kevin’s blog here.
Nice work, Andrew! It feels so good to see your own work published in a book.
@Jenni : Thank you 🙂
Andrew, may be it’s time you publish your own book…
You contribution in the book is cool and guess what I bought mine from the man himself and signed!

@Ta : Maybe I’ll do so when I grow older and call it … ‘When my eyes were fuzzy’. Oh wait … my eyes will be even more fuzzy by then. 🙁
@Ta : Oh cool! You got the signed version and met the man himself eh? Coolness!
@Ta : Btw … sorry about your missing comments just now. I think that Askimet spam blocker thingie has some problem on their server side.
Andrew, Can you delete some of my post please? they went away when I posted I thought I lost them so I re posted. May be the link to a picture…..
@Ta : Done! 😀
Thank you 🙂
LomoKev lives in Brighton not far from where I live. I went to one of his open houses once and the last time I attended a talk organised by Flickr Brighton group and he was there with his books. So.
Cool!
cyanwater I saw your work in the ‘Holga’ book as well. Really cool. I must try your trick using my e-p1 (with ToyLens and a Diana flash)
@Ta : Hmm. Maybe I will go beg cyanwater for a signed copy of the book. She’s my idol!!!
Hey Ndroo….you should print a Fuzzyeyeball book with all your photos and tips!!!
@Jer : I will … if you promise to buy the first 100 copies. 😀
@ta: eh? The holga horror one?!
@cyanwater : I don’t have the book. Show me!!! I am your #1 fan and how can you not let me see it??!!!
cyanwater, yep that’s the one.
