The Plastic Lens ~ words

Hello and welcome to the part of The Plastic Lens where I talk a bit about my journey as a toy camera photographer and share some of my experiences of using these wonderfully lo-tech cameras in my every day adventures as a photographer, when I’m not busy being the many other things I am.
I hope to gain an understanding, for myself and perhaps, hopefully for anyone who might choose to read this journal, about what it is that is particularly appealing about what is commonly known as toy camera photography as well as what I am doing with this type of photography and what direction it might take me. Along the way I hope to share with you some links to other photographers works that capture my imagination and explore the potential that lo-fi photography has to offer. Insights and explanations as to the why and wherefores of some of my images in the main gallery of the site might be forthcoming too. This may be more for my own fading memories sake than anything else, but I’d be chuffed if anyone would like to join in and comment where appropriate. It might be fun.
Thanks for taking the time to read this far. Please, check in soon for more.
