Storms are costly to those not mooring in the Santa Barbara harbor. Use the Lensbaby Muse to capture these boats as fading away, for they will soon be demolished if not re-floated.

Shadow bike
My father accumulated many things in his backyard, many making good photo pops. Use a Holga 120 to photograph this suspended bike.
Using plastic cameras or a Lensbaby is about having fun, exploring, surprise, like driving without a road map. You know you are going somewhere but not knowing where you will end up.
