The indecisive moment
Photo: Cute enough for Koosi, too cute for me.
My friend Ernie bequeathed me a brand-new, unused Holga LOMO camera in its unopened box.
“Why are you giving me this when you just bought it?†I ungraciously asked.
“Well you just lost a camera,†he pointed out. (Digression, digression.)
“But I have another camera, and you want this camera,†I told Ernie.
“I have another LOMO camera,†he reminded me.
“Then why’d you buy this one?†I went on.
“I couldn’t help it!†he cried. “He had a signal jammer that disrupted all neural traffic in my brain!â€
This is what happened. Ernie was back at the store where he’d bought the first camera, casually looking at the displays, when the same highly attractive salesperson who’d sold him the first camera walked up to him and started giving him the sales pitch. Before Ernie knew what was happening, he had handed over his credit card and acquired a second LOMO camera he hadn’t intended to buy…

It’s easy to manipulate photos in Photoshop, to look like lomo photos.
Although some photographers look down on Lomo, hobbyists agree that it’s fun to do. Haven’t tried it though.

Aha! A LOMO camera will go perfectly with those glasses from Fabulous Fanny’s, NYC, I think.

p.s. Have you read the Tagalog translation of your article, brought to you by that Tagalog text generator at the bottom of the webpage? It’s hilarious.
