happiness type 1

Shot with NOMO CAM Happiness | 9.9.23

The NOMO app has an assortment of interesting cameras. Many aren’t worth a second look, some are gimmicky, some, like the half-frame PEN I use for fractured landscapes, are useful. Some can simply be a blast to play with once in awhile.

This is one of those. In 1956 a Chinese company, Tianjian, introduced a simple medium format camera they called Happiness Type 1. The name is a bit cheesy if you ask me, but hey – I like the color.

    1. Thanks Frank. Irony never occurred to me, but now that you mention it…
      I don’t do much color. Not that I have anything against it, but I seldom like the gaudy carnival colors I get. Very few apps tone it down to a more realistic level, but this does. It has possibilities.
