Pinhole workshop for Lomo GS London


Last week, yes it's been a while but It's a mad house here! anyway I was asked by Adam Scott to come and do a guest speak at the lomo Gallery store London , the subject pinholes. I accepted must have been in a drunken stupor as I was asked at the launch party of the Dietrich Collection . I managed to get up the next morning and was not as prepared as I would have liked but took along some images as examples and talked my way through the 'techniques' I had used to capture/create the images.
The workshop was in fact centred around the use of the Diana+ and it's pinhole feature a group of about ten to fifteen adults left the store with cams in hand and a whole new experience awaiting them, we headed into Carnaby St. went off to Wardour through Soho, Piccadilly Circus and stood in the middle of the busiest crossing in London Oxford Circus, hopefully some shots of the thronging crowd will be captured, the day was a bit dull and we only had a few moments of brighter sunlight.
My rolls are not all processed yet, too much to do this week!

Dietrich Collection @ the Lomostore London




It was party time at the LGS London on friday night and I was able to be their with my 'lovely' Hubby, we had a good gab and a drink with some lomo friends and the collection of Dianas and clones was impressive if not totally mad, with some of the new adaptations from commissioned artists and illustrators. The Urban Vignettes exhibition was also on show at the back of the store and I was lucky enough to have an arm load of Diana shots in it!
Followed by a curry which is something I've not had for many years due to confinement with young children! A night out wow! Adam of the LGSL asked me before leaving if I would give an impromptu 'guest speak' on pinholes the next morning, I must say the thought of getting up early was not the most tempting idea of the evening but as my next post might show, well I did manage it.
