Tiny Camera Resembles Flash Drive
Though something I wouldn't buy myself , the Volvox USB Web Cam brings a little ingenuitiy to the mind-numbing world of web cam marketing, and certainly provides ample opportunities for naughtiness and legerdemain.
Made by digicam guts specialists Sydnt, the camera-in-flash-drive-clothing snaps onto the end of a USB extension cable and does its thing, offering a 1.3 megapixel resolution and able to shoot 30 frames per second of video. No dimensions are given, but it's about an inch wide and two long, comforming to the classic "suppository" school of USB dongle design.

What is Lomography?Again
What is Lomography?
In the early 1990s a couple of students discovered a small, enigmatic Russian camera, the Lomo Kompakt Automat, and created a new style of artistic experimental photography with their first unorthodox snapshot cavortings. The approach: taking as many photographs (Lomographs) as possible in the most impossible of situations possible and from the most unusual positions possible, and then having them developed as cheaply as possible. The result is a flood of authentic, colourful, crazy, off-the-wall, unfamiliar and often brilliant snapshots. These are mounted on panels to form a sea of thousands of Lomographs which regularly astonish viewers with their sheer colourfulness, diversity and power of expression. Ensuing major exhibitions in Moscow, New York, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Havana, Zurich, Cologne, Madrid, Cairo, Tokyo and many other cities, where up to 100,000 Lomographs were shown at a time, established an international reputation for Lomography.
A guide to LomographySo, what started out spontaneously as an artistic approach to photography in the Vienna underground scene developed into a far-reaching, international socio-cultural movement. This development has been supported by the marketing of products that have since been 'discovered' or specially developed by the Lomographic Society: extraordinary snapshot cameras (for example, the 4-lensed cameras or the Holga), photoFashion, photographic accessories, Lomographic books etc.. Also by a diversity of cultural activities organised regularly by the Lomographic Society in 35 countries around the world. The specially inaugurated LomographicAmbassadors look after LomographicFriends on a regional basis and organise all sorts of activities, such as exhibitions, parties, shows, LomographicShootings and tours, publications, international and local art projects, also collaborating on projects in the areas of film, music and the new media, as well as providing local support in a series of annual world-wide events and competitions.
A guide to LomographyThe social and visual credo of Lomography had a strong influence on the function and aesthetic of photography in the 1990s. Today the community of Lomographers has over 500,000 members world-wide. Among these are mere mortals like you or me, but also such famous individuals as Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, Pulp, Underworld, Helmut Lang, Moby and Robert Redford, to name just a few. The basic Lomographic idea be fast, don't think, be open-minded towards your environment, absorb everything, collect and enjoy being communicative has spread into a culture of communication and an approach to awareness that is shared throughout the Lomographic network. The creative premise is based on the playful combination of lo-tech and hi-tech and the amalgamation of a cultural institution with a commercial photographic and design company. And this approach has provided the Lomographic movement with a most exquisite role in this age of global and borderless (tele)communications wherever language, text and images are involved. Where is all this going? The Lomographic Society is busy beavering away with hundreds of thousands, soon to be millions of Lomographers, on and on, on the perpetually ongoing LomographicSysiphus project: The LomoWorldArchive. This is the most comprehensive archive of snapshots of all time, with all really all the wackiest and most impossible sights and moments of our time!
Where is this archive? In Lomographers' shoe-boxes, stacked on chairs, tables, in cupboards, drawers, and on the ceilings, floors and walls of Lomographic homes, in LomographicAlbums, at the Lomographic Society International Central Office in Vienna... and in the highest, most select quality and concentration, online in the LomoWorldArchive at the global communications centre of Lomography: www.lomography.com In fact: The archive is growing and growing and growing on a daily basis, hourly, by the minute!

what is a vignette.<<<---?
A vignette is a photograph whose edges fade out gradually. In photography, vignetting can be an unintentional result caused by optical limitations in the camera lens. As an effect, it is frequently used for portrait photos, usually in an oval or other shape. A vignette effect is easy to apply to a digital photo in most photo-editing programs.
A vignette, or soft fade, is a popular photo effect where the photo gradually fades into the background, usually in an oval shape. Elements has a built-in vignette effect, but the method outlined here is non-destructive--none of the original pixels in your image are altered--and it gives you more control over the placement, fading, and background contents.

THE LOMOgraphy FILM.
Lomographic 35mm Film:
Packaged in a glossy and charming box, each roll of 35mm color negative Lomo film is your inexpensive ticket for vibrant color and bold contrast with any Lomographic camera. It's tuned at 100 ISO for small grain, fine resolution, and awesome results. Great in the LC-A+ & Colorsplash, and good for our multilens cameras (Supersampler, Actionsampler, Oktomat, Pop 9, etc) when used in bright sunlight or with a flash.
Fuji Instant Film:
The Fuji Instax Mini film is the first instant film to join the Lomo Filmshop. There is another reason for our enthusiasm. Until now, getting hold of this type of instant film, and indeed these Cheki cameras, outside of Asia, has been like trying to get a Chihuahua to do the Fandango. Not an easy task, I can tell you.
Lomo is pleased to offer the Instax Mini Film which is compatible with the Cheki Instax Mini 50 camera and also the Miu Miu Polaroid camera.
The credit-card sized Instax Mini film comes in handy cartridges of 10 and has all the speedy benefits of being an 800 ISO film. Sharp, fine grained and colour perfect – instant film has come a long way! This film is super stable and you can expect great results at temperatures as low as 5°C and even on the beach at 40°C. The Instax Mini film has an accelerated development system which means instant photo gratification! When it’s all over. admire it, then pop in your wallet, album, fridge or wherever the mood strikes you!

Either way, shooting slide film is a crazy fun experience that you don't want to miss. Click on the Details link to see sample shots and read a description of each 35mm slide film that we offer.

Shooting negatives yields a wide exposure latitude - meaning that your prints can still look excellent even if your exposure is a bit under or over the mark. We've got a rocking mix of in-stock favorites and limited discounted specials.

FANCY CAMERA.
All Weather Actionsampler:
The most advanced multi-lens camera yet! Armed with 4 glass lenses, it shoots 4-frame images in a huge variety of ways. First off, it yields serial 4-frame images (like the Actionsampler) with three different shooting speeds. Next, it takes static images (like the Pop) in three ways: 4 identical images, 2 sets of 2 identical images, or 4 individual frames of whatever you like. Feel free to sync the built-in electronic flash while shooting these static images. And to boot, the Autosampler includes a rugged All Weather / Underwater case which goes to 3m deep (about 14’) and is reliable for snorkeling, showering, skiing, snowboarding, water balloon fighting, and rainforest hiking. Uses regular 35mm film that you can get processed anywhere.
Konica APS Disposable:
APS film, created in 1996, was designed for perfectly neutral shapshots. Of course, it’s not supposed to produce these results when it’s been expired for 3 years. Our exclusive deadstock quantity of disposable APS cams will yield something never intended – slightly jacked up-color saturation, film grain, and color balance shift. This results are crazy, lo-fi, and contrasty - but still somewhat-natural prints. It’s like cross-processing lite. APS development is still easy and readily available. Each camera has 25 exposures of ISO400 and a built-in flash.
Split Cam:
Split your world and prepare to taste “image fusion.” Using a dual-blind lens system and multiple exposure mechanics, the Split cam allows you to shoot half your photo with one subject and half with another. The results: a guy’s head on a girl’s body, your friend happy on the left and sad on the right, full frame quadruple exposures, totally normal shots, and a world of other possibilities. Cheap and cheerful with a rough-edged bumblebee color scheme. Normal 35mm film and normal processing.
Minox GT-S Set:
This German-crafted set stuffs world-class optical and camera design right into your pocket. Its fully retractable, radiant Minoxar 2.8/35 lens yields superior contrast, sharpness, and color rendition. Aperture priority and daytime "snapshot" mode allow for total shooting convenience. Dedicated Minox hotshoe flash included. Minox has produced the world¿s finest compact cameras and lenses for the past 70 years and counting.
Paper Pinhole:
A bottle of glue, a ruler, and a pencil are the only things separating you for pure and crushing pinhole ecstasy. The Hole-On-Ex is a palm-sized 35mm camera that you construct with your very own blood, sweat, and tears. In exchange for about 90 minutes of your hard labor, you’ll be handsomely rewarded with intense pinhole images, a new appreciation for the mechanics of photography, and an insanely charming new tool to shoot from the hip.
