Nostalgic photography, indie album covers, polaroids

This is a really good read. I love some of the album artwork mentioned and the evocative feel of them. My friend relased some records years back under the guise of the name ALIEN and he used old family snap shots for his covers, blurred pics from Spanish holidays and English seasides. When I think of the photos my parents have of me and my siblings as kids in the 70's I much prefer them to the ones I take of my kid nowdays on a digital SLR. Same with the old Super-9 films v's digital video cameras. I got into those fun cameras a few years back that take staggered photos, fish eye lens photos, ones with coloured flashes, cheap-ish plastic, use real film.......lomography, just remembered! http://www.lomography.com/ Really cool products if you're into that kind of thing.

Shame polaroid film is so expensive. I'd happily use that over digi-SLR any day.

Having a bit of a nostalgia trip I've recently started putting a lomo filter on some photo's I've taken with my Android phone camera (there's loads available, instagram is probably the most well known ) and they look splendid.

I'm also quite quite happy the new album sounds like a 78. :mrgreen:
It's nice to be liked,
But it's better by far to get paid.
