PROLOGUE
Sorry for months of hiatus since my last blog. I was truly busy at work but in the mean time I am also hard at work preparing updates to my blog.
There’s lots of life events happened around me during the last 6 months, which has touched me and changed my view of things and how life should be lived.

My very first Lomography prints
On April, Lomography Hong Kong held a roadshow for the first time at Times Square. I have long been interested joining as a Lomographer since it’s product seen at CitySuper stores and the interest is further fueled with Instagram – the iPhone app and an Internet community sharing “lomo” like photos.
This exhibition gave me an opportunity to learn more about the Lomography community in Hong Kong and has landed me the first Lomo camera: The Lomo LC-A+. It’s a top-of-line Lomo camera at the time I purchased, now replaced by the flagship Lomo LC-Wide.
The Lomo LC-A+ camera is created in honor the very original Russian made Lomo LC-A camera debuted in 1984. With the camera, it’s most important feature is the Russian made lens, as subsequent models are with lens made in China (this might not view as a big deal to many, but it does has differences in terms of picture texture); besides the lens, it uses 35mm film, with 4-step focus selection, fully-automatic exposure detection and multiple exposure. Photos taken with this camera are famous for it’s slightly-dark-and-blurry edges and unexpected color textures.
I’ve chosen this camera over the other likes including the Diana-F or Sprocket Rocket because of: 1. It’s smaller size; 2. Ease of use; 3. the Multiple Exposure feature; 4. The ability to install an instant-back for instant photos; 5. and in terms of art I will have the unexpected colors for every pictures I took with this camera.
The Lomo LC-A+ camera is come packaged with a nice wooden “crate”, along with a very-thick Lomo LC-A+ book, cable release, and two rolls of 35mm film. Here’s some unboxing photos of my camera:

Talking back to Lomography, what is it? In the world nowadays when almost everything’s being dominated by digital, people including me starting to miss the heritages: just like when people now wanted to preserve old buildings; that’s no exception to photos and that’s what Lomography’s all about – fronting the analogue film photography and it’s “unexpected” nature when taking photos. And there has “Ten Golden Rules” of Lomography:
********** I recently moved to a new apartment where I (finally!) got my own room to set up as a home office. I’ve been a hardcore follower of GTD for quite a while, so I wanted to make sure I take the lessons learned over the years from my personal experience, and design the perfect home office from the ground-up. For those who don’t know …
