About chris_k

Hello, I am Chris and I am taking my first trip to China.  I will be spending three weeks in Guangxi Province.  I do not have much international traveling experience but have spent a fair amount of time adventure travelling.  I am a toy camera buff.  For those of you unfamiliar with them they are very simple cameras predominately of plastic that used to be given away as carnival prizes and such.  The pictures are a bit distorted, can be strongly vignetted, suffer from light leaks - in other words wonderfully unpredictable.  The primary camera that I will be using on my journey is a Holga.  This one is still in production in Hong Kong.  I also use a Diana but was a bit afraid that it might be damaged on this long trip.  That camera has history and I would hate to have anything happen to it.  Both are 120 mm medium format cameras so uploading the pictures may take a while.

Let's see how this vegetarian fares around the world!
