High-end of the lo-tech
As far as low-tech photography goes this Blackbird, fly twin-lens reflex camera by Superheadz is as high-end as it gets, but as these cameras are all about having fun while taking pictures, I’m not going to bore you with specs and will let you admire how beautiful these limited edition Rolleiflex lookalikes are.
They go as low as $125 at http://www.fourcornerstore.com/
This is going to be my last plastic camera. Promise.

Good design in ten commandments
„Back in the early 1980s, Dieter Rams was becoming increasingly concerned by the state of the world around him – “an impenetrable confusion of forms, colours and noises.” Aware that he was a significant contributor to that world, he asked himself an important question: is my design good design?
As good design cannot be measured in a finite way he set about expressing the ten most important criteria for what he considered was good design. Subsequently they have become known as the ‘Ten commandments’.“
In the documentary „Objectified“ Rams also expresses concern about the state of design and how right now there is only one company that really puts a lot of thought in the design of it’s products. That may not be completely true, but the overall picture is pretty grim and we do put up with a lot of bad design because we just don’t know better.
On the photo above: ReBraun MP3 player - maybe not the perfect image to illustrate Rams’s point, but beautiful nevertheless.

Denisa Nenova
Found this on a huge empty store-window walking down Charing Cross road the other day and as it had a url written in the corner just had to look her up. The photos don’t really do it justice, it’s drawn on the glass with a waterproof felt-tip marker, beautiful. http://denisanenova.com/
