The Meg Camera

I kicked off 2010 trying out a new camera for a New Years Eve / wedding party combo. The "Meg" is a Diana camera clone, with a stand-out red colored body and cute peppermint stripe winder button. It's named after the drummer in the White Stripes, a story that I told many many times, a moderately excellent conversation starter. In true diana camera style, the film didn't wind correctly and I struggled to find candlelight and wind the darn thing all night. I also opted to try out the ringflash - wow, was that a hit with friends at the party -what is THAT?? they exclaimed! Shooting on the bulb setting and firing the flash while holding the shutter open was actually fun - it was like the really old photojournalist days where you pop the flash and dust and fumes surround your subjects and you feel like something just happened.
