it all started off with my chance encounter with lomography when i was still a university student. Read up and browsed a little about it and bought a fisheye traveller camera off UO.com when it was on sale, and that sparked it all. And then, a few years on, a turn of events, i met A during an outing, whom i really felt a connection with. A introduced me to more people, i started to meet other active lomographers, but i didn't/hadn't felt the real connection with them yet. Then it was a little random sunday outing, just C, D, MW, WH and i, that kind of triggered and became a weekly thing, and then because of MW i met N, and I;
and to put things simply, it's just quite awesome.
we would meet and walk around, and shoot, and eat, and talk-
talk about things other than photography, or analogue; things like life, like work, like love, like our hobbies, like ourselves, like each other, like lethargy, like youth, like our pasts, like our future(s), like then like now-
sometimes i think that people are like books,
because every time you read them,
you find something/a new side.
when people start meeting each other out of the normal situations/circumstances by which they originally met/would normally meet e.g. colleagues at the work place, or fishing friends at the seaside, that's when you finally get to know them more than just a colleague, or a fishing buddy, because there's always so much more to know about a person, so much more.
i won't deny, it's a (secret) hobby actually,
i love seeing a different side of everyone.
it's very exciting.

'i am but a sailor on the sea of the human heart'
quote ripped off N's photo/quote series, which he ripped off 30 rock anyway. I'd admit that i'm mildly ashamed to be rubbing off pop culture or anything mainstream, but it's a lovely quote,
and i love it so.
