Recently, we ordered an Diana mini camera
for my enthusiastic 18-year-old
photographer's birthday. A whimsical automatic message immediately
appeared in my Inbox from Lomography:
"We're seriously committed to making sure your Lomographic
order arrives
in the best possible condition. At the moment our holistic shipping
experts are busy preparing your treasured cargo psychologically for the
journey that lies ahead. After a bit of chanting and chakra balancing
our packaging architects will set to work making your goods as
comfortable as possible. Under the cover of darkness a no-messing
security troop will escort your package to the post depot to ensure it
departs without a sniff of trouble. It's at this point we release two
pigeons of peace as a symbol of thanks for another successful shipment."
"chanting"..."chakra balancing"..."pigeons of peace"??? I
have to say, I appreciated this message far more now than I would have a
month ago before my Ayurvedic weekend in northern Vermont...I am even
learning Indian chanting now, not intending to outdo my teenager who is
incidently learning Chinese...
