lomo

outabout_may10_012
I have a backlog of Lomo LC-A pictures that don’t seem to go together in any particular way. Just random things taken here and there over the past few months. So I am going to throw them all together here.

All these places are in Oxford. The above is at The Fir Tree, a useful place to know as it is open until 2am and is a good place to carry on a conversation.

I had this idea of trying to build up a collection for myself of flower pictures I have taken with the Lomo. Maybe I should have waited until a bit later in the season but it is a start :)

Happy Easter

mask

Happy Easter! I am going to be in Berlin this weekend to celebrate my step-father’s 70th birthday. It’s a big gathering with people traveling in from all over for the celebrations, it promises to be a fun event. I should be back here early next week.

I loved reading the responses to the last post :) I sold a few things and so this week was able to justify buying a new lens for my Canon – the Canon EFS 15-85mm 3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. I will be trying it out in Berlin.

I mentioned before that a roll of film was lost in the post, well it wasn’t! After I had given up hope the photos showed up. The roll was from my Yashica that I had left in there since last summer/autumn. There seems to have been something odd going on in the camera as some of the pictures had double exposure but I quite like it on these. I am not 100% sure exactly what occasion these photos are from but it is definitely a family celebration of a birthday at my father’s house.
