Le Love

Was going through some of my favourite bookmarks over the weekend and totally forgot that I've tagged this blog. Le Love is a blog about love, entries submitted by people all around the world.

Photography is such a powerful media. It captures and immortalizes moments of intimacy, love and tenderness, as portrayed there.

I absolutely love how the photos encapsulate the many different types of emotions that a person falling in love, already in or out of love feels. The surprise, disappointments, worries, frustrations, sheer passion, vulnerability, loneliness, adoration, hurt, pain, dedication, innocence, fear, longing, yearning, regret, hope, love. 

Some photos seem like they are living, as the feeling of pain, hurt or love are quite tangible. They really make you feel with the subjects in the photos.

Here are some of my favourite photos from Le Love. 

"Way too attached"

"Stealing Kisses"

"Afraid you'll forget me"

"Great complexity"

"Marianne Taylor Photography- That's what I want"

"We both know"

"Like an eternity"

"There are no rules"

"Nothing new"

"I love(d) you"

"Soak up every second"

"Imagine"

"This year"

"I don't know what's going to happen"

"But he didn't hit me"

"You are..."

Diana + Holga

Lomography. A word that I've come across quite a few times on Facebook. I knew it was something related to photography but I didn't really knew what it really was. Until I checked out an old friend's blog. It was Emily Ding's. Knew her since my PLC days and just found out that her cousin and I actually go to the same church.  What a small world. Anyway! She listed some of the cameras and lenses that she takes photos with. One of them was her Holga or Lomo. What the heck's a Holga or Lomo? But with both words combined it became....... Anyway, hopped onto lomography.com.au and from then on, I knew it. You know those feeling of warmth that slowly bubbles up from the inside and a sense of euphoria soon overtakes. It was love at first sight! They're the coolest chunkiest and functional plastics I've ever, ever seen. 

Mine sure did! A range of Holgas

Here's my favourite. The cutest Holga. The colours are just so fun!

Another one that I like. Diana. The predecessor of Holga.

The photos that lomographic cameras capture are pretty rad. 

Here are some example from Google with their sources linked under them. These photos are taken from a pool of lomographic photos. Therefore they're are not confined to those that the Dianas and Holgas could produce and are certainly not mine!
