So here I am.

I probably should do a post right..? Though I don't really know what to write today, I just know I want to be here, so here I am and here are some photos. I've tried writing this post a number of times but it's all been a bit too much and in the end I picked some of my recent favourite photos and went with those instead... sometimes I worry that I'm hiding behind my photos but they always seem to say so much more than I could ever write, so here I am. I think I've been here the whole time. Perhaps you can read them. Perhaps you can even hear me and what I'm trying to say. I like the idea that maybe you see more of me than I ever do through them.

Bunting!!

I guess that now is as good a time as any to confess a love for bunting, it makes everywhere look much more colourful and its also pretty fun to take photos of.

These were taken the week of the Queen's Jubilee and Knaresborough was the perfect place to see so much bunting, it's such a quiant place already that the bunting looked like it had always been there.


Bunting everywhere hurray.

Forgotten Photos: Manchester...

Last year I went to my first Lomo Meet Up in Manchester and tomorrow should be (snow depending, haha) another one...

So if anyone is in Manchester and wants to meet and talk cameras, I believe we're meeting at the new Lomography shop at 11.30am. Perhaps I'll see you there...

Have a good weekend!!

Starting all over again...

Sometimes I wonder why I keep getting new cameras - with each one, I feel like I take a massive step backwards as I have to relearn each camera - it's quirks, its manual settings and well, everything about it and then apply all that I've learnt into taking the photos that I want to take.

And my refurbished LC-A is proving to have a very steep learning curve... but here are some of the better results from Roll 2 - I think the one of me is probably the best and I didn't even take it, haha.

{theres that camera again, love it}



The first two photos are from the Lomography Xmas meet up and the rest were taken in Minehead.

The great thing about testing this camera is that as it has a light meter, I can try photos inside and also when its a bit grim or dark outside - the chandelier and the carousel in particular, I never would have taken with my other cameras, as I know their restrictions... but this camera has amazing potential for variety which I'm really looking forward to exploring more.

Paris in film: Xpro Chrome

I know I say that I love things a lot, but that is because I genuinely do... and I love this film 

(and this camera). In fact, it sometimes makes choosing which camera and film to use quite difficult to do... but I don't mind really.

Can you believe that I'm still uploading Paris photos? I guess I can, I did take a lot and 5 posts a week doesn't seem that many when there is so much to share... these photos are some of my favourites from the week. My superheadz slim and wide has relatively no pressure, you don't have to worry about focusing or the bulb setting, it takes no time to take a photo and sometimes, that is what I want and need and I love that.



I'm so glad that I tried the Lomography xpro chrome film in this camera - I expected it to look great and I wasn't let down. The colours and contrasts are so rich, especially in the Paris sunshine...

I sure do miss the Paris sunshine.

You can see the whole film set here.

Every day I walk the same way home from the bus stop. This one time I took my camera with me...
