Back to the Future With Miniature Cameras

This post is in partnership with our affiliate partner Lomography

Back in the 70's miniature camera's were the bomb. Maybe you've seen a dusty mid 70's miniature camera sitting in the window of a pawn shop, or - if you watch old reruns of The Bob Newhart Show or Family Affair or the Mary Tyler Moore Show - you've maybe seen a flash of a small 70's era miniature sitting in the background. They took great photos that were fantastic contrast and sharp images. These little cameras were loaded with what was called 110 film, which were these iconic little plastic cartridges that were long and rectangular with two little film canisters on either end - you've probably seen one, and as soon as you see one you'll go oh yeah, right, that film.

110 film became really popular because of it's easy loading and unloading, and it took great photos. But, production was halted in 2009, and since then no one was making it until Lomography started making 110 with it's Orca film.

And now, Lomography has released two incredibly cool miniature cameras that use the 110 format, and shoots fisheye full circle pictues! Very cool. There's two models - the Fisheye Baby 110 Basic and the Fisheye Baby 110 Metal. The Fisheye Baby 110 Basic uses Orca 110 film, shoots a full cicle image on a rectangular picture, and has a fisheye lens, and the Fisheye Baby 110 Metal adds on a PC flash adaptor, and has a cool metal cover.

These are seriously cool little cameras, and they are a great intro back into the future of a 110 film and miniature cameras.

Large Format with Debbie Carlos

Debbie Carlos brings a mini series of Jellyfish to a plotter, a large format printer mainly used to produce architectural and engineering prints; printing halftone. This kind of printing lends a rough and textural aesthetic to the image, almost looks antiqued. Halftone printing is similar to how images are produced for newspapers or magazines (held up close, the images will look like a series of dots in various tones of grey to black but looking at it from afar, will reveal a photograph -- a really cool, graphic effect). Pieces as large as these are customarily and most comfortably viewed from at least four feet away.  We're also loving her guest artist Devin Higgins' Cactus print (below).
