Eleven months before the next Russia Day, Lomography’s wrapped the classic Ruski film-camera in red goats’ leather and painted fertility symbols on it. Why they did that, I’m not sure, but I do like the soviet badge on the back.
Considering this is a homemade camera knocked together with a few borrowed parts, it’s surprisingly high-tech, with the main selling point being that it was laser cut – and that you can make one yourself.
I got three rolls of film processed today, and have been sobbing ever since. Why? Because only 17% of the shots came out. You might say it’s my own fault for using film in a digital world, but you’re wrong.
