I guess the last time I scanned and posted any lomographs was after my trip to New York last year. I got caught behind needing to scan 7 sets with Fall 2006 being my busiest and most insane semester–including deaths, design internship, helping with teaching and my design classes. I remember promising to castrate myself in January if I never got to scanning. Well, I broke that promise and I am still attached. But yes. I am scanning. I am down to my last set. It only took nearly a year.
So why I only had 7 sets since last year? I promised myself not to take any analog photos until I catch up on scanning before I get myself in a bloody mess I put myself into in the past of having to scan over a dozen sets. It’s hard for me to muster up any patience to sit down and proceed with my boring little workflow of scanning photos.
Anyhow, these 7 sets I am scanning also mark the beginning of my Lomo LC-A hiatus. New York was the last time I put the trendy little Lomo LC-A to use and resorted to an even more remarkable, compact and photographic piece of equipment. I’ve been using my Olympus XA (after giving my XA2 to Kate).
I miss film and I am putting my analog cameras back to use. I have much more free time than I’ve had in the past year and freelancing, spending time with the fiancé, family, exploring places and traveling sum up my summer vacation. I can’t quite look for a job until after my 3 week vacation to the Philippines.
