Plastic Fantastic - Life through a Lomo



From top left, clockwise - 1) Truman's Brewery, Brick Lane, London 2) The Cotswolds 3) Flying 'home' - Melbourne to London 4) Garden in Yarra Glen

Some of you out there may have seen Daniel carrying around a new camera that Monique gave him for Christmas...a Lomography Diana F+...if you’re interested, read up on the history...it’s pretty interesting!

Having now shot four rolls of film, the learning curve has been painful. The first two rolls were 75% failure, thankfully the second two rolls were much better. Shooting on film is amazing – such a drastically different mindset from digital, and the anticipation of waiting to get the film processed in palpable.

The coolest thing though is the images... soft focus, vignetting, low contrast and high saturation gives the images such an incredible emotive quality. It is becoming quite addictive!
