new passion
i am completely and utterly addicted to lo-fi toy cameras. yes - i am back to film photography. i am absolutely in love with the surprise it gives me, the anticipation of an undeveloped film and the delightful imperfection in the images produced by these toy cameras. my passion in photography has revived. and i am fooling around with lomo cameras.
what i love is the philosophy behind it. "bad photography" becomes art. light leaks, distortion, unrealistic colours, soft focus, vignetting - bring it on. be vibrant! shoot without thinking! capture life in motion. use expired film! take risks! embrace the unexpected!
each roll of film holds multiple gasps and oh-my-gawd moments. i love it! its no longer about what you see, its about what you feel. stop rationalizing, start feeling.

eh... my friend Dominic, a lomographer, would be very glad for another lomographer in the making.
