About Me
- Name: Dr.Pew
- Location: Ghent, Belgium
I tend to find myself slightly out of step with my surroundings. While this is quite possibly due to my innate leftfootedness and nurtured rightfootedness, I chose to ignore this incongruity by drowning out the offbeat with tunes that fit my own rhythm. A potential insomniac, I’ve an inherent penchant for white nights and bright-eyed dawns. I revel in the transitory stages of life and dance when I fear most to stumble. Despite being educated to PhD level, I’m severely doordyslexic and invariably lose my way in carparks. I’ve an affinity with the road less travelled, admittedly largely due to my warped navigational skills. It’s an inadequacy that’s set in motion most of the greater things in my life. My libertarian mindset clashes with the inherently Darwinian genetic imprint of those constituting the societal realm. It’s a realisation that keeps me awake at night. To avert stresses and frustration, I climb up active volcanoes or engage strangers in deep conversation. Such actions are strangely soothing. I trust life to be rather inconsequential in the grander scale of things. This belief only intensifies my zest for life.

Funnily enough, I saw this today.
I might have to give it a DIY try :-)
Particularly like the 2nd one and your little sis - I will say it again is adorable!!
can you buy cheap 35mm fisheye cameras oppose to lenses?
I might go get a peep hole and give it a go :)
Mmm, would be brilliant to get a digital fisheye indeed. Might have a go at the DIY stuff myself, cheers Ann!
As for the 35mm fisheye camera, Tracey, you can get them for 27 squids here: http://shop.lomography.com/shop/
There is a new version of the fisheye though, namely the Fisheye2. Tons of options more. Tad more expensive, but still reasonable. If I hadnt only just gotten the Fisheye1, I would defo go with Fisheye2, as it allows for double exposure etc...
Have to say, the main downside to the Lomo Fisheye, is the light capturing. The conditions have to be quite bright already in order to shoot well. Will therefore defo try the DIY digital option.
At last a way of capturing authentic "pissed" photos. It's always a little disappointing to note how boring your "dead funny and clever" photos that you took after 3 bottles of wine actually are.
