"faux lomo"

this will be the start of many. i'm still thinking of whether to publish the photos in flikr.

anyway~ got a few personal photo series i'm trying to do. been doing some trial and errors as well and practising my post processing with photoshop.

for this one, it would be part of my own group of photos i call "faux lomo". i'm not intending to put it in a series because i can sense that a major part of my photo-taking would be done the faux lomo way.

what's faux lomo? i'm not sure if anyone else has coined this term but i named this after being inspired by lomography. lomographs have that vintage vibe to it and personally i feel it adds punch and depth to photos.

faux
, being false. and lomo, for lomograph. took awhile to get the best steps to photoshop photos this way but think i finally got it. might improve more with more experience but for now i guess i'm satisfied.
