Me and 11 other people (some from this Flickr – fotojux, mikelefevre, artpunk, maybe others?) are in a show that opens this Thursday night called LIGHTLEAKS [not the magazine]. It is called this as all the images are shot on dodgey crappy cameras with useless lenses and hideous light leaks. Sound good? Come along, they’re all for sale!

The show runs 23 February – 8 March, 2007, at Kerala Gallery, 283 High St., Northcote, Melbourne, AU.

Opening at 6:30pm 23 Feb, be there!

Announcement from Lightleaks toy camera photography magazine:

Our third issue is almost ready for press! Once again, we are running our pre-order special cover price of $12.99 U.S. for a few days before it goes to the printer. Head on over to our website at www.lightleaks.org to reserve your copy for $2 off the cover price!

This issue is jam packed with toy camera goodness for your viewing and reading pleasure. Our feature is Steph Parke’s interview with world-renowned photographer and author, Lee Frost. Find out where he got his "toy camera" inspiration from before his recent trip to Cuba… maybe from you?

Our themed gallery, "My Space: An intimate look at where I am" is overflowing with your submissions. Check out our FOUR new features: "Trippin,’" "Treadly Speaking," "Do-it-yourself!" and "Toy Camera Artists." We also have the return of "Tales from the Plastic Darkroom." Along with our regular features, "The Toy Box" and the "Events Calendar," we’ve made our biggest issue yet.

Finally, a great announcement on the next big publication from Light Leaks Press will be featured on the inside cover and we’ll be looking for you to be a part of it, so be sure to pick up this issue!

Visit www.lightleaks.org and get on the pre-order bandwagon for $12.99 U.S. After that, we’ll be switching back to our regular cover price of $14.99 U.S.

A reminder: At the present time, our issues can only be purchased from our web site using our Paypal shopping cart. However, you don’t have to be a member of Paypal. All you need is a major credit card to make the purchase.

We hope you enjoy the third installment of Lightleaks magazine!

Lightleaks magazine issue #2 available for pre-order

Issue 2 of Lightleaks, a magazine for toy camera users published by toycamera.com, is available for pre-order for the reduced price of US $12.99. Shipping is US $2.50 to North America and US $5.00 to the rest of the world. If you want it—I do, issue 1 was a very promising start—order soon, as it will go up to the cover price of $14.99 shortly.

They’ve gone with a private printer rather than Lulu for this issue, so hopefully the print quality will go up and shipping times will go down over #1. The cover price has also been reduced from $16.99.
