AboutHuge.co.uk that's right it's about Me !

I think my Graphics teacher hates me. Reason for that:

I don’t like kids ! Not like i hate them, but well it’s more like I’m scared of children. Yes I’m not so far from a children myself being 17 but I’m talking of the really young children. I don’t like them because 1: I’m afraid I’m going to make them cry & 2: I don’t know what to do when they come up to you, being the youngest in my family I haven’t had a little brother/sister to looked after. Now to why I think my graphic teacher hates me, I say she hates me i don’t literally mean that she “hates” me. I have a pretty solid idea that she knows I don’t like children, yet we have came to a decision to do my exam work on Toys. Which the idea of doing it on Toys, to me, sounds like a great fun. However this will mean I would have to spend a great amount of time either, go to places that sells toys (this usually involve kids) or visit children’s museums.

V&A Childhood Museum is the first place that came to her mind. Yes it’s “Childhood” Museum, of course that place is going to be full of kids.But i gave it a go. I went there on the Wednesday 24th (the day LC-A Instant back+ was launch) the museum itself is very nice and simple, literally just toys in a glass cupboard in some sort of a massive warehouse. However there is this big piece of Art work at the entrance that caught my eyes. It was a “bridge/rainbow thingy/some sort of a shelter/who knows what” made from just wooden chairs !

[Look at the little devils running towards me.... "arrgghhhh"]

This was amazing as you can see, not the most exciting thing but I just wasn’t expecting something like this in a museum that sounds quite boring. It not only the chair that amazed me at this museum, the boring toys i was there to take photos of were not as boring as I thought. The toys were not just old teddy bears and wooden cars, there were all sort of toys thing like game console to collectibles. If you don’t know this I am a bit of a Star Wars fan and have a massive collection of unopened action figure from Star Wars, back home in Thailand. So seeing them was nice, also things like the Play Station 1 (the original one) brings back memories of when I’ve played those old games with my brother whom I haven’t seen in a while.

Conclusion: if you have free time why not visit this place, it might be a little far(ish) if you live in Central London. It only took me about 35-45 minutes to get there and I say that’s not bad. It’ll bring back memories when you look at those old toys if you do see ones that you’ve had in the pass like I did.

Another thing that I should mention is their cafe looked very good. I didn’t have time to see it because I was rushing to go to the Lomo Store to get the brand spanking new LC-A Instant Back+ & The “No Nukes” LC-A+. Which by the way is an amazing addition to the LC-A, as amazing as the Diana Instant back is, it’s nowhere near the result you’ll get with the LC-A Instant Back+. With its signature vignetting and the crystal clear images (with a Tunnel Vision like effect ) made by it’s glass lens still included in the instant photos that comes out, its a “must have” for LC-A owners. I really do highly recommend this LC-A Instant Back+ !

[Just see what I mean when I say it's a "must have"]
