I happily wasted my Saturday (and the wee hours of Friday night) trying out the amazing photography stuff on
Photojojo.
One was using a digicam to shoot through the viewfinders of old film cameras. I used a boring Minolta just enough to give subtle blurred edges and a kind of a fisheye, but other people who used really really old cameras had prettier results.
Mine:
Nero! You know you love him. :p
The plant box with tacky plastic dragonflies! Our version of the pink flamingos.
Shells. Yawn.
Better ones, meh, by other people here:

I turned this...
...into this. Yay!
In case you were wondering, the fish heads were from the homemade sardines my mom was making. She only used bodies, see. The heads were thrown away--we couldn't stand their accusing stares. Hoho.
Now back to my aimless packing.
