The first Lomo event I’ve ever been to - The Greenspace Lomography Project in London.
We weren’t sure what it would be like when we saw the invitation, but decided that we should give it a go. It turned out to be a fun day. To my surprise, Brad also borrowed a coloursplash camera and participated in this group execrise.
We picked up the borrowed cameras at the Big Chill Bar in Brick Lane and signed-off our rights to the photos we were going to take. Our journey began there at mid-day and we followed the route set by the organisers: Amira from the lomgraphic society and two friendly helpers, Linda and Karen from their PR company.
Colombia flower market was our second stop after Brick Lane. Docklands was also one the list - we spent some time in Canary Wharf, Mudchute Zoo and Greenwhich before we headed back to the South Bank. We were then asked to take photos of one of the bridges: Waterloo Bridge, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Southwark Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge and the Millenium Bridge.
We stopped by Piccadilly Circus to complete the last task before heading back to the Big Chill Bar for free Heineken at around 7pm. It was quite a long day, but definitely good fun. I enjoyed meeting other lomo fans (or lomographers).
It was good to see Simon (Black Carrot) again after our brief meeting the day before; we were out taking photos of St.Paul’s Catherdal on Saturday when we were stopped by Simon as he spotted my LC-A camera.
Good job on your blog.
