Markets and Hobbies

In Korea there is a very strong culture of early adoption and hobbyists for a number of market types. One in particular is that of photography and in certain areas of Seoul you can't go a few minutes without seeing a top end fully professional DSLR. In this market however there is also a lot of diversity and products like Lomo are quite well established. Similarly film photography is still strong.

It looks like I may do some work looking at this trend a bit later.

Great Cameras for a Change

The trend these days seems to be to make everything badly and remove the point of elegance and design from things like cameras and everything else. Humm that is a negative outlook, perhaps I don't actually think that. Anyway. Today with the help of Medgadget I came across this fabulous site including cameras of purpose driven design. They are all designed around event and built to carry stories. They use a variety of materials and methods but are all simply lovely. I think.

I need one.
