I have been a busy bee this past week. I'm in the middle of a collaboration with my boyfriend -- our first collaboration ever -- which I will hopefully feature here next week, and I've been looking for fresh photo ideas here on Lomography and also on Flickr.

When you’re traveling and engrossed in all that visual “porn” of new places you are about to discover, it’s very easy to forget about the real world. After all, all you really need to worry about are who to meet with, where to eat, and what next to see or experience.

The dust had barely settled behind us at the California-Oregon border when our tire popped, leaving us stranded in a small Oregon city (if you can call it that) in the middle of the widest gray sky I’ve ever seen in my life while men with heavy country accents replaced all our tires.

I have no intention of planting my roots just yet and I have seriously been considering leaving LA but she makes it so hard for me to leave her.

I had this week’s article written and ready for publishing two weeks before my deadline but a lot has happened since then so I decided to write an entirely different article, one that would be more fitting. I also dusted off my trusty Mamiya C330 so I could capture the sense of this piece on film.

This week on Analogue Girl About Town, I thought I’d show you some of the nighttime bokeh photos I've taken of the LA skyline from some of the best spots in the city and write a tutorial on how to make homemade bokeh filters.

I need a good long drift but for now I have to content myself with mini drifts around the city instead.

Ah, it’s a whole new year again. The merry feasting is over. It’s time to make way for another old tradition: reflect on the year past and make resolutions to better ourselves.

With her Lomography cameras and her trusty MacBook, LA-based Lomographer and freelance travel writer Michelle Rae writes a new 365-days-esque series about her urban adventures to present to people an entirely different perspective of the City of Angels.
