Don't worry

if you were thinking recently about how much you wanted to get me a gift, but just couldn't decide on what to get me, I have narrowed things down for you.
You can get me a diana camera. which would allow me to take lovely pictures like this:

OR a flash that I can attach to my Holga which would allow me to take pictures that aren't blurry and underexposed, and would look like this:

OR film, which is now almost extinct, and much too pricey for my budget, for my polaroid. Then, I could take pictures like this:

If none of these things sound reasonable, please remember that I also except cash or check.

Polaroid will be back at the end of this year. Hopefully it won't be too expensive after that..:)

"In October 2008, Kaps, 39, and Bosman, 55, took $2.6 million in private capital and started what they endearingly called the Impossible Project, with a view to reinventing the traditional Polaroid film."

"The trial monochrome version of the film will go into production at the end of October and, if all goes according to plan, should be available to the masses in time for Christmas, "before people start to throw away their old Polaroid cameras," says Kaps. In 2010, when the color version should hit the shelves."

P.s. I still want to see your Holga pictures.

remember that funny little camera you used to have that was all the rage when you were 11? It took sticker polaroids like the size of a quarter.

The second picture is natural light only! No flash was used. The first picture would definitely be possible with the holga you have. You need to ask for a little tripod, not a new camera. As for a flash, any flash will work, do not pay for the HOLGA flash. Go to the goodwill or DI and pay $2-3 for a flash. Also, try using 800 film if you are under exposed. Take it from someone who has wasted plenty on equipment, the key to better pictures is NEVER better equipment.

Also, stay out of Travis's bedroom.
