Holga


Speedo., originally uploaded by tread.

Take a look at the whole set!
From Wikipedia:

The Holga is an inexpensive, medium format 120 film toy camera, made in China, appreciated for its low-fidelity aesthetic.

The Holga's cheap construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. The camera's quality problems have become a virtue among some photographers, with Holga photos winning awards and competitions in art and news photography.

Moon

The moon has fascinated Humanity since the dawn of time. If you have a camera on your hands it often turns into one of your first targets, leading to blurry or overexposed pictures.

Stunning shots like this are the reward for those with the patience (and the equipment).

The world ended a while ago

At least for the Mayas. For unknown reasons, a civilization that in some aspects was more advanced that their European contemporaries collapsed in a short period of time.

They didn't wait for 2012 for sure!
