Lomography

For this memorable mixtape post, I am going to look at my own modern equivalent of the classic "mixtape" and something that I listen to every day.

One of my favourite romantic restaurants in Leeds in the United Kingdom is a Brazilian meat place, well out of the main drag from all the other places. Read on after the jump to find out why I like it so much.

So far so good for my analogue project - read on after the jump to find out about how #project52 is working out for me after a month of photos.

Last weekend saw the celebration of Chinese New Year (it is now the Year of the Snake for those who are interested) so me and my other half headed off to Manchester to spend some time in Chinatown there.

This year, I have a million things I want to achieve in life, and my Lomo life is no different. Read on after the jump to see what I have promised myself I will do this year!

To me, a bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket" as it were. Here are some things I want to achieve in 2013, if not, before I die!

It has been a long time since I harassed all you Northern Lomo geeks for a meetup so I feel that now would be a suitable time to get on it. Let’s do Liverpool in February.

I was thinking about a nice easy photo project that I could do throughout 2013, one which would fit into my everyday life, and get me using ALL my lovely cameras. Then, I came up with #project52. Read on after the jump to see if you fancy giving it a go with me.

So, as usual for me, 2012 has hosted a fair few analogue disasters -- some funny, some sad, and some just darn stupid! Here, I will share with you a few of those photos and tell you what went wrong.

Red's True Barbecue has to be THE hottest restaurant to hit Leeds since, well forever really. Here is my review of why people just can't get enough of barbecued meat all of a sudden.

This month we were asked to write a bit about our aspirations for the coming year in Lomography. Read on to find out the three things I am hoping to achieve next year.

Temple Newsam is a great park in Leeds to go for a day out. Easy to get to and full of beautiful countryside and wildlife, it is well worth a visit.

When I was in Coventry last month, I had a lovely walk in the winter sunshine in a park in my hometown of Coventry. See after the jump for my location and photos from the day.

This year for my other half's birthday, I decided to reignite his passion for photography and buy him a classic SLR camera that he absolutely adores.

One of my favourite places to go to when I get the chance for a bit of a break is definitely London. Read on after the jump to find out why.

Last year, I took part in the year ender series and shared with you all one of my favourite photos from each month in 2011. I am going to do the same again this year and tell you a bit about each shot.

For this month’s CitySlicker task I was asked to write my analogue wishlist for the coming year. This has been an easy task as I always have some products in my wishlist in the Lomography Online store. Here I talk about a few things I hope to pick up in 2013.

It is hard to point out exactly where my lomo beginnings go back to. I know that in late 2008, I only had a compact digital camera, and although I loved taking photos on a night out, I just found it all a bit unfulfilling. I guess it must have begun some time after that.

Lots of cities across the UK have a German-themed market at Christmas time, and luckily for me Leeds is no different. Welcome to the Leeds annual Christkindelmarkt!

Since I have been active in the Lomo community, I have achieved a number of things that I am really proud of.
