First picture of a film

Just in case, if you never shot with an analogue camera, this can happen to the first pic of a film. The white part was exposed to the light when I put the film in my camera. I finally got around to scan and cut another film from the Sunlight session back in April.

At first I was annoyed when I saw this pic, now I like it. Lomography is really weird, I start to like pics which would have made me throw a tantrum if I had made those with a SLR.

Sunflower

The sunflower that stands currently on my desk. Makro. I just love Makro - Photography.

The Beauty of Leipzig - Day 7 - Guess where...

One of the old industrial buildings. Wonder what it was used for initially.


BFF taking pictures. The staircase would have looked boring in digital, can't wait to see her tricklense version.



The big empty hall.

The shop entrance of a local designer. Sorry don't remember the name of her.

The Beauty of Leipzig - Day 6

Still at the old industry complex at the Karl-Heine-Street. Bear with me, there will be a few more Leipzig Days since I really took a lot of pics (around 90) last Sunday (not yesterday.)

I especially like the third pic. I was worried that it wouldn't come out the way I wanted it, since I took it with my IXUS and this camera is, as good as it is, fairly limited.

When I look at the first pic I get this "twisted" feeling, like a small vertigo, I like it.

And the fifth pic. I know they simply do it, to make sure it doesn't get stolen, but I still have to smile every time I see this.

Ramen at the UMAII

Miso-Ramen with fresh Salmon (The best fish I ever ate! Because it's really soft and juicy, since the uncooked sliced salmon slivers are just put into the hot broth and then refine while served and eating. *Very Happy Sigh*)

Tamago-Ramen (I like the Tamago but the broth of this Ramen isn't exactly my cup of tea. ;-)

UMAII is a japanese Ramen Bar in Leipzig. They are fantastic. I love to eat there. BFF loves it too.
I went there with two other friends on Friday and they didn't like it. The interior is too stylish (read cold) for them and the food too japanese (Algae is obviously a no go for them. Well, if I should move to Japan and they come to visit, this could be a problem for them, I on the other hand would be perfectly fine.), one of them ate Thyme-potatoes at another bar right afterwards and then felt stuffed, poor girl. No wonder if you ask me.

I like the Japanese (Okinawan) culture of Hara Hachi Bu = Eat only until you are 80% full, though I'm still struggling to get it ingrained, but I'm getting better day by day. At UMAII this isn't a problem however, since the portions are perfect for this 80% approach. Japan watch out here I come! ;-D
