because I’m a descendant.
just a quick post before I go to sleep! I saw NC carrying a diana mini in one of the chorale party’s videos, so it reminded me about something that I’ve yet done. By the way, congrats, NC, join the club! You did the right thing by splurging $90 to $100 ++ on a piece of plastic! (;
I didn’t post any pictures taken by my dear Diana mini. Here they are. These are some of my favourite photos which I have taken in China (Lijiang, Kunming and Dali). I thought the sky would be overcast most of the time like how it was in Beijing/Shanghai during winter. That area has very strong ultraviolet ray contrary to our expectations. It is weird. I dread going to China, however, after that trip to Yunnan, I think I’m falling in love with China and its rich, under-appreciated culture. I was very enraptured by the minority groups in China, their lifestyles, their art and music. I really want to go to Shangri-la!
Anyway, I took a while to adjust to using a lomographic camera. There is no “I wanna see, i wanna see” and no more peeking over the photographer’s shoulder to catch a glimpse of the portrait. The images captured would be shrouded in mystery till the minute they’re processed. I would only be able to view my pictures taken in Europe after seven months! I hope they turn out ok. I bought five rolls of really cheap, dubious-looking film, plus one roll of expensive film and I still have one roll of black-and-white film before I flew here. They should suffice!
wishlist for my European adventure
I’m getting quite excited for my exchange but everything seemed so fuzzy — I can’t believe I’m going to spend half a year in Europe! (:
okay, the list of things that I wish to have in my backpack:
- A backpack – duh! I haven’t gotten a sturdy, reliable backpack that screams ME yet. I saw this black, plain one from Muji. Nope, I’m not sombre and boring.. It is just plain enough for me to add some quirky elements. Read more…
