This Lomo camera photo I came across is from this blog by Stanley Leong experimenting with a Diana F+. It is a camera I got 3 years ago but so far have only produced very light and not really great photos....mhm. In his try outs the light leaks become something very beautiful though.

Maybe worth to experiment more! These photos are also a nice tool for a workshop with children I have done with the assitance of a book called 8 ways to Draw Fish. There is one desciption of a fish but 8 different ways, methods and styles to show it. Apart from showing each participant the potential of their individual imagination, is also about perception and how each sees the world in a slightly different way.

Nice way to capture a moment and someone's spirit using collage and layered images.

More stuff to look at. This collage is a screenshot from photos taken by and published in the Lomography magazine.

 There is a really nice public Flickr Photopool https://www.flickr.com/groups/holga120/.

               Trying out my new camera at the wonderful butterfly house in Hamm.
             
                                       

                                Jeez. So difficult to take a photo of this butterfly! I went to the 

                                Monarch Butterfly sanctuary in Monterey last year, unfortunately

                                I did not have the right camera. This one I saw today, not a Monarch 

                                but a Tagpfauenauge (in German).

                                There is a really nice purple colour in the middle.

                                Food for thought, "concrete poetry". Words + shapes + patterns.
                                The content creates the shape.

                 I started working with children the first time 6 years ago and I have always

                 really enjoyed it. Often the outcomes are surprising and the students have

                 a very open mind and open heart.

                 One of the thinkers that have really influenced me for these workshops is
                 Sister Corita Kent.
