Assuming the following:
a) You're in London.
b) It's a Sunday.
c) You quite fancy a roast lunch.
Then this site is probably a handy place to start looking.

As the veneer of technology starts to fade
Weblog things break far too easily.
A quick Google for the JH-R returns the remains of two different photo-weblog things. Basically excuses to point shonky phonecams at interesting things and display them to a pile of search engines with titles that are either pretentious or bad puns. The NME of the eighties has a lot to answer for.
In both cases, the cardboard-and-string technology behind them broke in tiresome ways that weren't worth fixing. (MT being a bit of a lash-up and Sony-Ericsson phones having a built-in photblogging app that was entirely opaque)
As it happens, the one site will point you at a pile of photos taken with a Lomo LC-A, which was what I was after in the first place. However, after a bit of practice it turns out that you can get rather good pictures from a Lomo, which rather defeats the object. And in the meantime, phonecams have become too good and no longer emit atmospheric and impressionistic images.
