Part Uno: A go getting holiday season
Part Uno:
This afternoon has indeed been a really fun time. Booked out of camp this morning and came home for awhile before heading to City hall to meet my buddy, EuGene. As always, we were both armed with our cameras. We met up at Peninsular Plaza where he went to develop some film. There, i discovered that the shop actually sells quite a decent range of Lomographs. The following were what i saw on display; an underwater lomograph, the lomo with 4 sequences and there's even one with 8 sequences, there is also the holga and some other really funky looking lomos that come with flash.
For quite sometime now, the lomo bug has been a pretty latent interest inside me. This happened after i picked up digital photography (about 1.5 years now) that lomography has actually taken a back seat. Now, i am ever more inspired to take it up, after learning that Gene has one (he brought it out today)! Besides that, i believe that with a lomo i could better express myself in a more fun and unconventional manner. Not to mention being kept on tenterhooks -not knowing what to expect as there's no previewing; unlike my digicam...the element of anticipation/surprise is present. These are things a digicam could not help me achieve, in all its conventionality. The lomo that Gene has is a really funky looking model; one which takes 4 sequence shots and it looks like a toy. That's how cute a lomo can get, yar? Soon enough, i might just make my way down to that shop and purchase a lomo for myself. Its not really expensive, the range of lomos they sell retail from about SGD 70 TO SGD 180.
Once we were done at the shop, we adjourned to BK to fill our now famished souls. Ordered one Alaskan salmon burger set. The salmon patty tasted pretty good and its flavour was complemented with a light touch of tatar sauce. Delicious. After having our fill, we made our way around the Hill street area to start our shutterbugging session (pics available). But, before that we actually went back to the photo-developing shop to have a roll of film fixed into the lomo. We also learn from the lady boss that the lomo Gene has, is pretty fragile; do handle with care, yar?!
There you go Gene's lomo and my Olympus digicam...
The above pictures are what transpired of the session we had today...
To many more trigger happy moments!
