Rebel Without A Pause: My Lomo Photos @ Digital Photographer Philippines Magazine

A few of my lomographics have been included in the latest issue (Issue 19) of Digital Photographer Philippines (DPP) magazine. The issue features "The Art of the Plastic Fantastic - Lomography". I just had to document it here on my blog since I am guilty of stacking reading materials (magazines included) and forgetting about it when a new one arrives. Good thing I know how to operate a flatbed scanner, I can make electronic copies of it.

With me being a lazy lomographer and switching from film-digital-film-whatever, the results of some of the shots, well, I consider as chamba-wamba. I am flattered that some of my photos have been included in the DPP mag, a publication I consider almost like an "in-flight" magazine for photographers and photo enthusiasts. It's quite intimidating for a photo hobbyist like me but I learn a lot from the magazine.

The 2 images on the left were featured in the Reader's Gallery. The photo with lights was taken at EDSA sometime October 2007 at around 2:00 am. While the photo with STOP was taken near my office in Makati, lunch time, on my way to buy food at one of those jollijeep stalls. Wala lang talaga ako magawa minsan.

There's also a short description on the person who took the photos (I wrote the photographer's profile, actually. Hahaha! But of course they edited some lines), it reads:

Photographer: Cat Ramos
Cat Ramos is a self-proclaimed lomographer. She admires lomography because she finds the images similar to the look and feel of her favorite Wong Kar Wai movies - improvised, nostalgic, and spontaneous. Her day job as a specialist in the field of systems, methods and procedures doesn't stop her now from shooting with her LC-A lomo camera.

Another photo of mine (the one with geometric patterns below) was also included in the lomo love article of the magazine. It's the roof of the underpass in Makati Ave. and Allied Bank.
