Two nights ago, Cheryl and I chatted over MSN for more than 2 hours. It was many years ago that we chatted for such a long time! So she insisted that I blog about it. “Haha!” :D

It all started when I asked if she was interested in Jay Chou’s concert ticket. That question was done and over with in just less than 5 minutes. But what followed was a whole lot of chat about photographing! That was when she introduced me to a new term (to me at least), Lomography. Lomography (LOMO) is the term for an approach to photography that emphasizes casual snapshots, spontaneity, ubiquity, randomness, and close-ups, rather than being concerned with the technicalities, aesthetics, and the conventional world of photography. It was then I realised she was into taking photos too! And was shocked to learn that she owns up to 7 toy cameras (well plus her iPhone, make that 8)!

As long as it is a conversation about photographing, it will get me all excited. And that was how I sensed Cheryl was feeling too. Indeed she was excited too because she mentioned it is hard to find friends so interested into photography. I shared with my girlfriend about it, but she thought otherwise. =) Well I supposed that is because she is in Photograph Club in her school. Hehe! For me, I can even just name the number of friends whom I know interested in photographing only. Of course number one is my girlfriend; second my good friend Jiayun and now Cheryl my old time friend.

So anyway Cheryl and I have planned (err wait, okay Cheryl planned it) to have a “When DSLR meets Toy Cameras” photo outing! However due to her busy schedules as an (poor) undergrad, the outing will take place only a month from today. But we are so looking forward to it already! And I hope my girlfriend will be free to join us!

Photographing rocks! :)
