going down

How about this slight crop? :-)

after going to the tate modern with rokecake on monday morning for the second time hoping to have a go on the big slide they currently have in the turbine hall we gave up after seeing the que just to get a ticket. any way the hope was to get on it a get an image just like this. i took this when i was in japan in 2001 and it reminds me of a time when i would actual go on a water slide with my lomo of course lomos cost £60 - £90 back then.

Yes, very nice indeed...I went with my GF on the big slide - we got our ticket and then had to come back FOUR HOURS later to go on it! It's worth it though man...I made a vid of her coming out of it - www.myspace.com/miggygibbs and go to vids if you're interested..

scallydandan says:

wow this image petrifies me, how much does a lomo cost these days ? : ( I resent the fact they are out of production at the peak of their popularity. I was told that in Russia you can buy them on markets for a few pounds. I think I might have to have a vacation! : )
