So I decided to purchase a new Camera, the plastic-fantastic Holga K200n 35mm Camera with fish eye detatchable lens and coloured flash filters!!! Took a film just messing about and came up with some interesting results. With this crappy plastic thing you don't really know what you are looking at when taking photos, and results often suggest this!

The thing with plastic toy cameras is that they are less intrusive than large more serious cameras. Most people who would see me with this thing wouldn't take me seriously and this could make it easier to take photos where cameras or photographers are not so welcome.
Another thing about these cameras is that they suggest works as 'mirrors' rather than 'windows'. What I mean by 'mirrors' is that the images can be seen as a representation of the artist. The idea of the 'window' suggests the image defines the information within the photograph. This would be relevant to more professional technical photography.
Good fun to play with anyway and I found relevant quote by Aristotle:
".....play and introspection are the only two human persuits that are engaged in just for the hell of it"
