Monochrome Moscow

Kacang's post brought me back to the one time when Tolga and I brought Diana+ everywhere we went. Our love for Lomography was so strong that getting 120mm films and developing them wasn't a hassle at all. We didn't feel the newfound hobby was costly and full of uncertainty.

The novelty faded after a while.

We were sometimes disappointed by over-exposed films, lost shots and undeveloped rolls. Yeah, once we lost the entire roll of Black&White. I was really upset but that's part and parcel of Lomography. The only best part is the wonderful surprise we collect from the photoshop. They are gorgeous, and authentic.

I forgot we have a scanner :P

I haven't thought much about Moscow since I got to Istanbul but these pictures reminded me of the good times we spent in the city. Oooohhhh.. the good times, so much of it. 7 years of memories :) Moscow is really not a bad place but unfortunately, I can't say the same for its system and people. Transporation wise, the Metro surely isn't A-class but it gets us from point A to B easily.. gets us everywhere.

Moscow played a very big part in my life.

Our trip to Kolomenskoe Park

This is one of my top favourites..

Through Lomography.. it felt like we were in Moscow during the 80s era! LOL

I remember my friend told me there's a digital camera from Lomography. Supposedly the effects are similar. No need to photoshop and such.

I forgot the name though!
