Taking photos isn’t just done by walking around on your own like some sort of a pedophile. Taking photos with other people is more than double the fun ! Especially when you don’t know the other people, but have similar interest, you’ll really enjoy yourself. Talking about experiences, camera, photograph, because if you already know the people your walking around with, yes its fun, but you’re only gonna talk about the same old crap. So try going out meeting new people…..

I myself have made a few friends during my life changing discovery of my Lomo obsession. I have made great friends at Lomography London, and met people in there too. I know it might sound to you I’m just constantly promoting Lomography, I’m not I only showing what Lomography have actually given to me. Keeping on the Lomo subject I have also made some very nice friends on Lomography’s own community “Lomo Homes“. So I think that cameras is a great way to socialized not just capturing moments…….

You don’t know how to interact by taking photos ? Well there’s a few way to do this, one of the way is easy but I’ve got to admit a little scary is when taking picture in well known public places you’ll always see at least one or two other photographers there. Go up to them (not in a scary way of course) talk to them about the cameras, that is why you’re both there right ? Because you’re taking photos, yes ? What’s the worst thing that could happen ? You’re in a public place, the person ain’t gonna grab you and run off ! If the conversation doesn’t work out the, who gives, try talking to someone else. Another way is that I found is the more enjoyable way for me, is go to an organized event or meet ups. Something like the Lomography Workshops or Lomomissions for example.

I have in the pass participate in a few of these Lomography workshops before, which was fun, but i just wish the people in it were more relax and just talk about the camera, photo, jokes, whatever. They tent to either come in groups or by themselves, no problem with that, however they make no attempts to interact with other groups/individual that are there, even though that’s the point of these workshops. This made the workshops not as fun as i hoped it to be, but yesterday I joined the group in LGS London (LGS = Lomography Gallery Store) in the Lomomission one – The Wien in London. Walking along the river with complete strangers. The best thing is this group is the friendliest group yet ! We all……wait for it……. Interact with each other, this was great ! This made the Lomomission amazing fun, I made friends from it and that just make photography more the fun to do.

So remember if you’re ever lonely, like me, because none of your existing friends enjoy photography. Go out and find new friends, its not as hard as you think and it’ll make photography more fun. You’ll get to know more about it also from exchanging knowledge you each know about photography……..
