Jody Shipka purchased her first Holga on May 16, 2008. A month later, her first Diana arrived. In November 2008, she built her first matchbox pinhole camera. Since then, she’s come to believe the following to be true: 1. A person cannot own, make or modify too many cameras (Jody currently has 300+); 2. One should never venture out with fewer than three cameras on one's person; and 3. When it comes to cameras, the cheaper and lower-tech they are, the better. When she’s not collecting, making, or modifying cameras, Jody enjoys being an associate professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she teaches courses in technology studies, visual literacy and play theory.

Here are related social research mythologi: "People with simian lines tend to have extreme emotions, very energetic, very creative. If the line is higher in the hand, it means the person is more emotionally controlled. If the line is lower in the hand, these people tend to be more mastered their minds"
