I'm photo dumping! I just realised I got a load of film processed over the summer that I didn't share here. These photos are from a lovely party my friend Polly threw one sunny afternoon on her roof terrace. Pool party might be stretching it a bit...
Oh my gosh! Looking back through my past posts, i don't think i ever actually wrote much or shared the photos of the project i worked on for the last year! Seriously, this project has taken up some part of every one of my working days, and many of my weekends and evenings too. I guess i got so overwhelmed with actually doing it i didn't take time to document it for you, my lovely readers!
So, this all started in 2011, when i met Anthony, the Head of Communications at the Museum Of London. We got chatting about my work at Lomography, and initially we discussed doing a little digital project to promote the Museum to the Lomography community. Fast forward a year, and we built this...
Yup, that's me there with my trusty staple gun and brilliant colleagues. That's 30,000 individual photographs, all shot on film, submitted by people from 32 countries and pieced together into four huge LomoWalls. We also documented the paralympic athletes in training. Here are some more snaps of the making of...
I was interviewed and filmed officially opening the exhibition for the ChoccyWoccyDooDah programme on the Good Food Channel, so watch out for me on that soon, and you can read another interview with me about the project on the Huffington Post.
The exhibition is at the museum until January 2013, and is free to go and see, so go take a look and let me know what you think!

Hey guys, last weekend i hosted the LoBlography event: an event for bloggers, by bloggers. I invited 20 amazing UK bloggers, who all came along, met eachother, had some bucks fizz and cupcakes and shot some film. We also had a sort-of-seminar, with talks from Adam from Rock My Wedding, Sian from Domestic Sluttery and Kat Hannaford.
It was really good fun, i met some super cool people, and got lots of new blogging inspiration. Lot's of ideas in the pipeline readers! I was quite anxious about it, as it was quite a lot to pull together, but everyone's given lovely feedback and i feel like i've made some new friends. Lovely! Here are some of my photos from the day, all shot on the LC-A+ with CN 800 film (warning, image overload incoming...)
All shot on a 99p Canon Sureshot, which is fast becoming my go to camera when i want the beauty of film, but no effort. Sometimes focussing is just too much bother you know? Mostly on lazy sundays...
Hi nice readers! So, i'm a bit quiet at the moment, but as i said in my last post that's partly because there is SO MUCH going on at work! (Have i OD'd on internet? Surely not!)
One of the things i've been working on is a big Lomography event for bloggers: The LoBlography Event!
My idea was to create an event by bloggers and for bloggers. You'll get the chance to try out a Lomography camera and shoot a roll of film under my expert guidance (eek! But i did take the photo above, so i can't be toooo terrible) listen to talks by some AWESOME blogger/journalists who have turned their blogs into a career, have a glass of wine and meet other bloggers. Lush!
Find out the details HERE. RSVP is essential, your rsvp will come to me, so if you found out about this from here, say hi! See you next saturday!
Here are some behind the scenes photos from a video shoot we did at Lomography the other day. As you can see i got to flex my old special effects make up muscles on Mark's poor face - i didn't hit him, honest guv!
I'll be sure to post the video up here when it's done!
