Lomography changed my life…
Today, I am going to be celebrating the marriage of my good friend, Matt Moreno, and his super cool fiancé, Kim Attkisson. They asked me if I would bring my ‘Lomography’ cameras and capture they’re totally awesome day, and, of course, I said “Heck, freakin’ yeah!” duh…
You know… I bought my cameras wanting to expand my amateur-photography experience and I got so much more. There is something about shooting with these cameras that really makes me aware of how certain events are really ‘once-in-a-lifetime.’ These events that I shoot happened once, and will never again happen like that…. I know, it’s slightly depressing and really expresses mortality. You know?
Well, here are the cameras that I have used and own and I really encourage you to go check out www.lomography.com and find one for yourself. These cameras are considered ‘toy’ cameras and are primarily made of plastic. Plastic lenses, plastic parts… except a few springs and crap like that, which makes them pretty cheap to purchase.
Well, I just wanted to show the kind of cameras I’ve been dancing around town with, and I hope this will get you thinking about photography and possibly capturing some fun events in the future. Let me know if you have any questions or comments!

WiiWare releases Eduardo the Samurai Toaster.
I’m totally stoked to announce and enjoy the recent release of Semnat Studios’ Eduardo the Samurai Toaster
I have seen the development of this fun run ‘n gun game for a couple years now and it is really exciting to see it released. My good friend, Ian Bowie, did the game animation and some of the level design. Since I did some testing of it in the early stages, you can see my name, Nick Wichman, in the ending credits! How sweet is that?
If you have ever played run ‘n gun games like Contra, then this is the game for you. Its a 4-player drop-in type of game that takes you, either Eduardo or one of his samurai colleagues, through a series of epic battles fighting ‘toaster pastries,’ mangos, BEES, and robot…things. You are guaranteed to have a super-awesome time shooting toast and power-up weapons at these enemies and throwing… yeah, THROWING your teammates around the screen.
I am purchasing a Wii solely for this game. I played it last night at my band-mate’s (Trey’s) house and I am sold. If you have a Wii, go on and get this indie-game for ONLY 800 POINTS!
Eduardo the Samurai Toaster at Nintendo.com
It’s the beginning. I’m just getting started…
As a designer and artist in Chicago, currently working at The Ocean Agency, I have a strong desire to connect with other artists in the area and across the globe. I recently decided that my site needed a visual and dynamic update, so here we are. My strongest desire with this new site is to communicate with other artists and display my artistic projects upcoming and completed.
I am looking forward to meeting new people, discussing new theories, and creating art with new friends. Contact me to get involved!
