made in the USSR

when i was looking round for old things, i came across this:

its an old 1970's Zenit-E SLR :) and from i have read about this camera on the internet it was made in celebration of the olympic games in russia (as the olympic rings show on its body). so i think i will have some fun with this camera, the only problem is that i dont have any 35mm film :| because i dont use 35mm film. so as soon as i have some (i will get black and white film for a vintage feel) i will take this beauty out for some shooting, and what will make it really fun is that i also found a few diffrent len's for this camera ;).

i really cant wait to use this camera :D im sure i will get some really vintage looking shots, even when you look through the sight it looks really retro and you can tell its from a diffrent area. yet another tool to expand my creative work :)

check back soon for when i upload my lomo 10 Prophecies entries :)

HOT CHOCLATE!

yummy and organic :) so if you want to make some your self its 1 cup of rice milk, two teaspoons of sugar, and one of cocoa powder, heat the rice milk, and pour all into a mug and mix, hmmmmmmmmmmm heavenly chocolatly :)

and i know what your thinking, its more like a cooking show than a photography blog!

FIRST POST - Vegan Pancakes (yum)

Wow, so this is my first ever blog post, and i really do mean my first ever blog post.

So to start this off maybe i should introduce myself??

 i am a musican/photographer/lomographer that lives in liverpool in the U.K.

so today, me and my girlfriend (Chloe) decide to get some practice in for pancake day :D

and being vegan, we have to make modifications to the pancake recipe. heres what we put in

first things first, add all the dry ingrediants to the bowl (the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder)

 Then, add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and thoroughly mix until it has a smooth texture.

Once the mixture is well blended, with no solid clumps, heat the frying pan, to a medium setting.

Pour about a quater of the mix into the frying pan, and with the spoon, help make into a circular shape.

Then, when bubbles form on the top of the pancake, it means its ready to flip.
So with a spatula, slide underneath, and flip so it cooks on the otherside. (or if you're feeling like a professional, you can leave the spatula alone, and try flipping like your Jamie Oliver or something!)

Cook for at least a minute, because you don't want the mixture being gooey in the middle (like Chloe does it!)

Chloe felt extra special, and decided to create a chocolate pancake.

She did this by adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder into the mixture. It looks all nice on the picture here, but was quite sickly, so I wouldn't advise it!

You can finish off your mixture by creativly adding syrup, sugar or lemon juice to the top of your pancakes! 

We used fruit syrup for some extra flavour ;)

And that's how you make some delicious vegan pancakes!

and on the subject of todays activitys, i went to see the Nam June Paik exhibition at tate liverpool. unknowingly you had to buy tickets :/  but at least i got to see campbell's soup by andy warhol.
