I am now the proud owner of the SUPERSAMPLER (TM)!!!!!

I was walking around Marina Square today when i came upon this exciting discovery at a new shop called Molecule - that Lomography is alive in Singapore!

Learned abt lomography in TIMEOUT Vienna. (tho the camera was made in St. Petersburg), though we tried in vain to look for the lomo museum in the city. but i was so intrigued by this cool form of art (ok, i call it art. sue me! :P ) that i almost bought a lomo camera over the net in london. but for some reason, decided agst it.

ok, all you digicam-hugging techies. I know u can do your fast speed shutter whatever on your machines. and i know there's always abobe photoshop. but my SUPERSAMPLER(TM)! it's fun, spontaneous, quirky, random, happy and yellow! it is also, according to this pamphlet here, and what i believe is true, a "space and time dicing beaker, a clockwork snapshot plaything, an action shiver-and-shake crate, a LomographicPiccieBlitzer, an architecture-deconstruction chamber, a landscape lacerater, an image-sausage maker, an ultra-short film drum, a panorama hurdy-gurdy, an analogue pocket scanner, a mega-lensed flying saucer, a photographic molatov cocktail, a rapid hacking snapshot-shrapnel maker!". all that for 100 times $$ less. wat say, i'm quite happy.

the camera comes with 4 highly light-sensitive and panoramic lenses lined next to each other such that the camera can produce 4 precisely positioned panorama shots in series above one another in a single photograph that looks lek that:

i'm probably gonna add new links for my exhibits once i get this roll out. admit it, u are dying to see them! :)
