A Star!

Sometimes you meet a star, and you don't even know it! In February 2008, I traveled to the beautiful city of Lisbon (Lisboa) in Portugal, and I took this photo of a dog in his window:


Doggie in the Window II (2008)
Camera: Lomo LC-A
Film: Kodak Ektachrome/Cross Processed

Well, imagine my delight when I discovered this fun photo of the same dog, in the same window, while glancing through Flickr's Explore this morning!

I love him!!! I hope he's still there if I am ever lucky enough to visit that beautiful city again!

Giveaway and Interview!

Hello everyone! I'm excited to direct you to the beautiful Our City Lights blog for an interview with me! You should also check it out because there will be a GIVEAWAY from my Etsy shop!

One of the images that Diana (the wonderful woman behind Our City Lights) featured in the interview is today's subject:


Pouting (2006)
Camera: Lomo LC-A
Film: Kodak Ektachrome e100g

I shot this photo while strolling through the fun flea market in de Pijp, Amsterdam. That boy was throwing something of a tantrum, while the girls stuck in the cart with him looked on with disgust. This was a classic Lomo Street shot, as I really did "shoot from the hip", as the Lomography people like to say!

Have a nice day, and don't forget to enter the Giveaway!

Details Like This Make Life Worth Living

I have a passion for walls, windows, and doors. I know it's not original, but I really love to take photos of interesting edifices. I love to wander through cities and come across well-lived-in walls to photograph. Using my Lomo is one of my favorite ways to remember these structures, too. Oh, how I love my Lomo LC-A! My favorite film to run through this camera is Kodak Ektachrome, which I always cross process as well.

Here are three of my favorite Lomos of walls and windows and doors. All of the photos were shot using my Lomo LC-A camera and cross-processed Kodak Ektachrome e100g film. I wish I knew what was behind these doors and through these windows...
