Eccentric Camera Fun
An infant’s grave in Ross Bay cemetery with a single date on headstone.
Last weekend I met up with local photographer Earle for a camera swap. We spent several hours in very flat light shooting each other’s cameras all around Victoria.
Earle shot my Olympus mjuii and I his Lomo LC-A+ RL.
The Lomo has a reputation for distorted optics and funky unpredictable results and it did not disappoint.
The grot factor was amplified by some Lomography Colour 800 and 10-year expired Fuji Superia X-Tra 400 (this shot).
A good time was had by both of us, and apparently by both cameras as well. We are already planning what to shoot with on our next swap.

Hi Kate – it is sad. Date is December 7, 1991. I understand there are toys added to this grave on a regular basis.

I’m not sure which is sadder, a neglected headstone or one that is still being tenderly looked after after so many years.

I think the latter, especially for a child that lived less than one day.
