Sprocket Rocket

UPS Standard shipped to France. I don't know where it came from but it took less than a week to get here. I had already opened it at school as soon as I received it but I just taped it back for a photo.

After untaping and opening the box, there's my new camera with 2 packs of films.

Logo of Lomography at the corner.

Sprocket Rocket: The World's first camera dedicated fully to the glory of sprocket hole photography. You can see a sample photo taken with Sprocket Rocket on top.

Little booklets that came along in the box.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm loving the design

The back

If you take out that frame, you get sprocket holes on your photos.

I forgot to take photos while loading a film. I am going to take photos soon in Rennes, Provence, Prague and Budapest as I travel during my vacation next week and the week after. However, I might not get my film developed until I get back to Korea. I highly doubt that a person would develop this film with sprocket holes on the photos.

So far, I am very content. I like the design. Though, I received an e-mail about a new white version of Sprocket Rocket three days after I ordered this. Black is still sexy.

I bought this online from Lomography international shop.

LEICA R6.2 + 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-R II

So.................... both my grandparents are photographers and in fact keep a large collection of old analogue cameras. Since I started to take pictures, one of my grandparents gave me a Leica R6.2 for me to play around with. Upon research, these cameras are currently about $2000 for the body and about $1400~$1600 for the lens. Thus, I shall be taking extra good care of it. The camera was purchased when it first came out in 1992. I haven't been able to play around with it yet, because the battery that fits is an old model. I ordered the batteries on ebay, so they should be here soon. And as soon as I develop the pictures, they will be posted!

Rhode Island School of Design 

My family and I visited RISD over my long weekend and took the campus tour. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures around the campus... But I did bring back many of the catalogues and brochures. 

Before the campus tour, we sat in a conference room for a detailed introduction/ overview/ description of the school. One of the most interesting aspects of RISD was the way the programs were designed. As freshmen, the first year students would take part of the Foundation Studies Program. Then, as sophomores, they select their majors and take classes accordingly during the fall and spring seasons. 

However, during the winter, students are able to plan out the season in many different ways. They could keep taking the classes of their majors, they would take classes from different departments, and they could also go on a traveling program. Traveling programs are available for most of the departments, and students are free to join any one of them, regardless of their major. 

RISD has a special relationship with Brown University. Thus, students from either schools are able to take classes from the other and have them be counted as credits. In many cases, RISD students take liberal arts courses at Brown, and Brown students take art courses at RISD. 

Another unique aspect of the RISD-Brown relationship is the duel degree program. Students who apply to both RISD and Brown can also apply for the duel degree program. Evaluated separately, the two schools get together after and evaluate once more only on the students who have been accepted to both schools. Students who get accepted to the Brown-RISD duel degree program alternate each year and attend both Brown and RISD for 5 school years. 

Overall, the presentation at RISD was fabulous, it really gave me and my family a detailed idea of how life at RISD would be like. I also filled out the survey that they asked us to do down below, and overall, my evaluation of the visit was satisfying. 

Here are some pictures around the school.
