Recently Lomography gave me one of their cameras to experiment with. They asked me if I could take pictures of my life as the Online Editor for Ride UK/ rider. I’m always using these iPhone apps that shoot toy style photos, so why not do it for real with film.

It’s been a long time since I shot with film. We’re all so used to looking at the back of the camera/mobile phone. I can tell you now, using a camera with very little settings and no way of checking to see what the photo looked like, I was quite scared that I got nothing, but then very excited to see what I actually got.

Anyway, here it goes! Here’s some photos I shot with a Lomography Sprocket Rocket.

I don’t drive, so I spent a lot of time travelling around on trains.

Kings Cross Station. One of the stations I spend most of my time in, commuting in and out of the office.

On the road. This camera spent a lot of time travelling around with me even though it was hardly ever used.

I had to use up the film so I just randomly shot into the sun and this was the turn out.
