The Buchineko Keychain Camera ~ Superheadz Ina Babylon, Japan

While Katrina was in Japan shooting a wedding in Kobe ( images coming soon!), she had an opportunity to make a few purchases at one of the cool little boutique stores you find around any Japanese mall or shopping area.

Check out this cool little keychain camera she found, complete with a cute little role of 110 Agfa film. Pronounced " boo-chee-neh-koh", referring to a cat, there is a cute little graphic of a kitty on it. Neko is the Japanese word for cat..

As I uncovered the origin of this little gem, which measures a mere 1"x1"x1", I came across the Tokyo Lomography people, which must have some connection ( I can't read the Japanese language garble on my computer screen to be able to tell...) to the Superheadz Ina Babylon folks.

We'll post some images from this camera when we get a chance to use it at a wedding or other... BTW, is there a bride and groom out there that would let us photograph their entire wedding with one of these?? It would be really cool!!
