Hi-5 Blogger Event

A few hours ago, I had the pleasure of meeting 5 energetic Australian performers — Casey, Tim, Lauren, Stevie and Fil-Aussie Fely — otherwise known as Hi-5. And, unexpectedly, I can now truly say that I am a fan.

Vibrant, bubbly, lively, vigorous and colorfully dressed are some adjectives you could use to describe the quintet… but that would be an understatement. As through the course of the informal interview, we got to know them as a group and quickly realized that their energy is simply overflowing and infectious. Tim mentioned that they feed off the energy of the crowds they perform for… but on this evening, it was on reverse, and I witnessed what made these five performers appealing to toddlers, young ones and kids of all ages — their zest for life.

new lomo photos

My friend Linsy gave me a roll of 35mm Fuji slide film a while back, but I never got around to using it. So when I sent the roll in to Digiprint, I was excited to see what came back.

Here are a few samples…

Anshel in Lomo

As I normally do, I post my favorite shot that comes back from a roll of film. Since I only used a few shots from the roll, I’ll let Kan post her pics from the selection of her shots.

Another roll came back from Digiprint, and here are five of my fave pics from the set.

Hongkong Lomo

For some reason (and for the second time in a row), I have had one roll of unexposed film sent back to me. I have no idea if I’m doing something wrong, if I’m leaving the film in the camera too long (hence the opening of the camera by accident), or if I’m just plain unlucky.

Out of the new roll that came back from Digiprint, this turned out to be my fave take. Ironic, as I took the least time composing or actually thinking about the shot… and it’s not a typically great photo. but I enjoy the cloud formation and weird building tops.

wedding in lomo

I haven’t really been posting a lot this month — partially because I’ve been busy with a lot of other stuff, and also partly because I have been bitten by the “lazy bug”. I have a few Drafts waiting in the wing, but most of them are written half-assed, so I probably won’t even bother editing (much less) publishing them.

However, as a bit of a “get-up-and-go” post, here are a few photos from a lovely wedding I attended last Saturday with a bunch of friends. The bride is Francesca [Babits to friends] Guadarrama and the groom is Graham Russell.
