Lomo World Congress - 1st Day

Such a fun day today!  The Lomo World Congress started today in London at the same time with London Design Festival.  I had a great tour with Maya Newman who held the morning session Workshop called Waterloo Sunset.  We met at the Lomo Ship (HMS President) at Victoria Embankment and Maya took us for a tour around the city.  Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, a graffiti area with skateboarders, London eye, etc etc and we headed to Trafalgar Square to see the largest ever Lomo wall.  I knew Maya for a while from Flickr and always amazed with every one of her photo.  Today I finally met her and she is such a nice and easy going person.  I learned that she came from Israel and now stays in New York.  Shoot exclusively by film and cross-processing.
Later in the afternoon, a press event was held in Trafalgar Square.  This is a congress pack I got.  A great Diana limited edition camera, a London Lomo Notebook which contains all the information of the congress schedule, maps and some fun stuffs, a congress pamphlet, a 120 AGFA film, 2 shiny stickers of the congress logo, a Diana book.  I couldn't join the Austria Embassy's dinner party though.  The first day is plain fun and I'm sure there are more great adventures coming up this week.
