Lomooooooo.

Ahhhh, decided next time I haven't spent all my money on clothes, I will buy a lomo camera. I actually love the effects they make and I've wanted a new film camera for ages too. 



Love pictures like this! :












I guess my love for these pictures stems from my obsession with retro and vintage styled anything, due to a heavy influence aka. my daddy, and his enormous collection of cameras, film/digital and masses of accessories, hundreds and hundreds of amazing filters. Bit difficult to stop yourself being bitten by the photography bug when constantly exposed to such wonderful enthusiasm, bordering on obsession.


I know you could probably very easily just edit the digital photos into a lomo style, (like above) but where is the fun in that! Plus the cameras are super cute and very very retro, I love them! Diana cameras are not too badly priced either, plus many retro shops these days sell reproductions, so easy to get your hands on one.

My dad, of course, thinks it's insulting to purposely buy a cheaply made camera with the simple construction of a plastic lense and no light meter; says it's against everything he feels about photography haha. He instead offered me one of his film cameras and a lomo filter, maybe I'll try both. :)

Boatssss.

Took these a while back and actually quite like them and the soft lighting.

Christmas in Windermere, Lake District.

These are some of the pictures I have taken using my new camera, most of the memory card consists of pointless trivial photographs that are of probably no interest to anyone. These are perhaps of some interest, and a few look pretty okay considering we did not have one day with preferable lighting and weather conditions, but then again, it is the Lake District.






Daddyyyy

Feelings.


Don't know why I feel this way
Don't know why I have nothing to say
When my mind is full to the brim
Of everything you've done

Don't know why I like you so much
Don't know why you have the golden touch
When I am perfectly capable too

I've forgotten what it feels like
To feel like I'm worth it, I'm worth it
And I've forgotten what it feels like
To feel like I'm worth it, I'm worth it

Don't know why you are the one
Don't know why I never feel my work is done
When my hands are bleeding
They're so sore

I've forgotten what it feels like
To feel like I'm worth it, I'm worth it
And I've forgotten what it feels like
To feel like I'm worth it, I'm worth it

Don't know why you steal my light
But I know why I continue to fight
'Cause my heart is full to the brim
My heart is full to the brim
Yes, my heart is full to the brim

Sepia.









I may have an addiction to using sepia filters on my photographs but they remind me of sunny family holidays and shades.
