box_cameraI'm flying to Los Angeles tomorrow for a few days to visit my sister. I'm really excited to be back in California again for a while, even if it's Los Angeles and not the Bay Area.
The main point of the trip is to see The Cure at the Pantages Theater--Jamie's office is basically above it. However, there are a few other things I want to do, namely: see the Pacific Ocean, go to the Lomography Gallery Store, and eat at In-N-Out Burger. I'd also like to eat somewhere I can get calamari, which seems to be an unknown food in Louisiana. You can get all kinds of good ethnic food here, but I sorely miss non-Cajun seafood. I haven't had a bowl of clam chowder since I left California.
Jamie texted me last night asking if I was scared of helicopters, so she clearly has other plans as well.
As to the all-important question of which cameras to bring: I haven't shot 120 in a while and I have several rolls just gathering dust, so I think definitely the Diana F+. For 35mm, either the Holga 135 or the Lomo LC-A+. I don't want to mess with a bunch of knobs and dials if I'm street-shooting, so no range finders. The Land camera is really heavy and initially I was thinking I wasn't going to bring it. But you know, I didn't buy it just to have it sit around the house and occasionally shoot a photo in the backyard. So I think I'll bring it, too.
