2009: The Year in Review
It’s been a pretty busy year around the Four Corners Dark office, and we’ve had some great fun along the way. Our favorites? There are plenty, but we thought we’d get back into swing of things with a look back at some of the highlights of 2009.
- We talked quite a bit about cross processing, here, here and here.
- We made a poster with a ton of covers for your Kisekae Camera.
- …and spoke with SuperHeadz founder Hideki Ohmori, Parts One, and Two.
- A Leica Head to head with a Dollar Store Camera? Rounds One and Two.
- We were the first to report on the Digital Harinezumi
- … and the Digital Harinezumi Two.
- Built a Sharan SQ35 Pinhole Camera!
- Enjoyed the LC- A Wide angle lens.
- Opened a Toy Camera Store..
- Your purchases form the store helped a lot of animals in need, here and here.
- Had a very nice chat with photographer Jose Villa.
- We turned a year old in July!
- Ghost Hunting with a toy camera? Yep.
- Had our own custom Holga put together with Holgamods.
- We introduced the Mijonju Show!
- …and we were featured in InStyle Magazine!
But this year really was all about learning for us. We had no idea our little store that started out as a small supplement to the blog would become become it’s own thriving company. With suppliers in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Russia, Canada and even the USA. We thank all of them, and most of all- you, our readers and customers for making this a fantastic year. 2010 will kick off right away with some cool reviews and contests, and will have a some pretty big announcements along the way. For all of those in the Toy Camera and Film community, or just anyone interested in fun- keep us bookmarked, because we are only getting started.

Wow, what a year. I just read the Leica vs. Crap Cam articles. Beautiful. I love it! You say it time and time again and it’s so true–it’s not about the camera. Keep up the fantastic work!
