if you follow me on
twitter, you may have noticed that i posted last week asking for camera recommendations. i have been wanting one for years & finally decided to purchase one.
i love cameras. i have an old 1988 polaroid [which i still have TONS of film for!], a 35mm polaroid, a holga, a diana+ camera and a point and shoot digital camera.
i love 'old school' photography and have been on the fence about an slr for years. they take such 'shiny and new' photos [which is great for so many reasons] but i just LOVE the gritty-ness of old photos.
you know i have a camera tattoo, right?
my lens is here & my camera should be here in the next week or two. but in preparation,
i put together a list of 8 websites that have great tips for ALL levels of photographers.
