From toycamera.com "sneak preview fish eye toy cam ..." the missing post

I started reading this thread on TC.com because I really love Scootiepye's shots and she had posted some fisheyes and everyone got pissy about her association with Lomography and did she get paid by them, was she a shill etc., really insulting stuff frankly and this was the post I wrote:

"You know you're right, LOMO is a marketing scheme to get you to pay re-dunka-lis prices for plastic crappy cameras and XA2 knock off's which is weirdly similar to buying a certain blue camera on EBAY for say, anything over $20.00.

Diane needs a marketing device like a book or something, maybe a magazine, something to make it more popular and then expensive. I really can't imagine a more elitist thing than forsaking popular convention i.e. digital to shoot with massively obsolete plastic cameras.

Pye, I love your work and frankly if you were getting paid by LOMO to take those pictures I'd say, How do I get that freakin' job? and wow! do I like these pictures."

I ended up not posting this. I just seemed stupid.
