Black is L.O.V.E.


Im ecstatic right now.I've been thinking the past 3 weeks which color to paint our bedroom and voila! I decided j and i would paint our bedroom BLACK and white. I love it. I havent been this excited for quite some time now.I remember suggesting it to J last month and he was like "h*ll no", but today, when i called telling him i want black in our bedroom, he considerably answered, OK! Here's the inspiration that gave me the guts.



Seen on this wonderful blog.



Since our bed is white, the black perfectly fits! I'm also planning to put a Silhouette at the bed top. Will share some pics when it's done.


What color did you consider painting your brooms?

lomo love



I've been eyeing on this lomography camera "DIANA" since June and i haven't got my hands on them since then. Poor me. I wish i can find a retailer here in Vienna so i could try it.

*Lomography is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of St. Petersburg, Russia . LOMO PLC created and produced the 35mm LOMO LCA Compact Automat camera — which became the centerpiece of Lomography's marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 1980s. In 1991, the Austrian founders of Lomography discovered the Lomo LC-A. As the company states, they were "charmed by the unique, colorful, and sometimes blurry" images that the camera produced. After a series of international art exhibitions and aggressive marketing work, Lomography signed an exclusive distribution agreement with LOMO PLC — thereby becoming the sole distributor of all Lomo LC-A cameras outside of the Soviet Union.
Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique." Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life, as the Lomo LC-A's small size, simple controls, and ability to shoot in low light encourage candid photography, photo reportage, and photo vérité through the much-touted "10 Golden Rules." via wikipedia

On the other hand, i badly need to get an 18- 200mm lens for my Nikon D60 but this accessory is in my opinion, way too overpriced. My 18-55 mm lens isnt just giving me the satisfaction i want when i shoot. But to give it the benefit of the doubt, here are some shots i did today while snapping some fresh air with J at the Park.
