Two years ago I decided to abandon my first photoblog ‘notreality’ to concentrate on ‘The Plastic Lens’ as a testament to how much I loved photography with plastic and low tech cameras. It has grown and changed a couple of times along the way and I lost a lot of data (photos, text, comments etc) in one transmogrification that didn’t work out quite right, but it is still going and I intend for it to keep going as long as I do (and as long as I can keep affording server space!)
These beauties above are my father-in-laws pumpkins in all their glory,one of the first shots I took with the Empire Junior camera I won from Susan Burnstine in an online raffle (and got me started on this whole low-tech, plastic photography adventure). This shot is one of the ‘lost photographs’ from the first plastic lens manifestation and I have decided to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the site by reposting it, it was the first photo uploaded to the original Plastic Lens on the 27th January 2007. All of the comments up to JW’s birthday wish to the blog are from the original post. Thanks all.

does the soup appear this color, too?

wonderful.
pretty neat shot, looks like it’s at least fifty years old.
Thanks people…Angie, the pumpkin soup is orange in colour (and very, very tasty)

Pavel, thanks – I’m glad the pumpkins weren’t really that old in this image though…I rekon the soup might have been a bit off if they had been!
beautiful colours. Phil
Green Pumkins?
i find you website from Flickr.
You sure have so many beautiful photos.
love it so much.
Hi Cameron
Brilliant green pumpkins, I never knew that such a talented photographer was hiding behind that green coat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely photograph. Those pumpkins look kind of small though. Love effect on the image, is that vignetting from the lens?
sweet! i love the colours and the mood of this photography! Nice work
Happy birthday to the blog !
I have acquired an Empire Junior some time ago. Seeing this makes me wanna try it.
Thanks all – @ KJ – yes, the vignetting is from the lens, a common phenomenon in many toy camera shots (as you may or may not know). I never artificially (ie photoshop) add vignetting or blur to any of my shots on the site.
Thank you for the birthday wish JW – you really should give your Empire a go, it’s a very sweet camera to shoot with!
Hey Cameron, ever wonder why there is no EXPORT function from most of the blog platforms? I think they are too afraid of people jumping ship to other blog platforms if export posts/comments becomes so easy. BUT Someone should just go ahead and do it then hundreds will follow.
I simply need a backup of my blog, that’s all.
If anybody know such third party service to grab and archive blog posts/comments/pictures, please share!
I just love the colors of your photos.
