…is a simple, cross-platform tool to add EXIF information to pictures taken with a film camera. One (possibly the only?…) disadvantage with non-digital photographic work is that the images produced from scanning the films do not contain relevant meta data - which camera the shot was taken with, which lens, which film, etc…

Filmtagger (available for Windows, Mac and Linux), developed by Sverrir Valgeirsson, is a simple GUI tool to tag an entire directory at once.

holga, photography, lomo, about

Lomography is the big rage. The Lomographic Society has brought back into life the wonderful russian Lomo cameras.

On the same wave runs the success of the Holga, a cheap medium-format Chinese toy-camera which takes pictures with a wonderful "surrealistic, impressionistic"^{[citation needed]} touch. I love my Holga. I am not a lomographer.

And of course, there are others that want to ride the big wave as well - but they are chique, and buy a iPhone instead. With a little bit of extra money, you can even "take a typically crappy photo with the iPhone's camera" and make it look as if it was taken with one of these lo-fi toy-cameras. The true snob's lo-fi. Fake.

Meet Lolo and Helga [sic!].
