Here are the happenings in the Toy Camera world recently that I've found interesting:
New Store!
There is a new toy camera shop open - developed by Light Leaks Magazine featuring toy cameras from around the world as well as refurbished Ebay finds!! Check it out here.
Fine Art Print Auction
The Watson Studio Gallery Charity Print Auction is live - check it out here!
"Texas Hearing and Service Dogs is the beneficiary of Watson Studio Gallery's big annual Charity Auction this year! Purchase some beautiful art for yourself or as a lovely gift and help a great organization! We have over $20,000 in fine art photography prints that were donated for the auction!"
I donated a print of mine that was displayed there earlier in the year - Lewis Farms
Hypnotic sound
This is an intriguing new plastic "toy" that is for listening instead of seeing.
"GRISTLEISM is part industrial sound machine, part noise instrument. Featuring 13 original and uncompromising loops, GRISTLEISM delivers a mix of signature TG experimental noise, industrial drone, and classic melodies and rhythms."

You have some interesting links here, I've been gallivanting all over the place. I should really see if I can find that old Kodak Brownie. It isn't a toy, but it is low tech and film :-)
