Cat Socrates & Mint Museum of Toys

Best part about “re-uniting” with Kenji after all these years is to find a spontaneous photography buddy! Not to mention, my new friend, J – the unknowing victim who willingly jumped into our crazy whirlpool of film/digital SLR/DSLR/toy cameras after a spontaneous decision to meet in Taipei! Sooo… the 3 of us went on a little excursion last Saturday…

As we couldn’t get seats at Cat Socrates + it was getting too dark for some lomo action, we headed over to the Mint Museum of Toys for coffee. J getting trigger happy with his funny conversion lens (wide angle) that Kenji and him bought from Cat Socrates at only SG$8.50.

    Yea those lenses are really cool. I never had a cell phone cam before but now that I do I might get 1 even at the rip-off price tag :P

    • Thanks for the idea to “restart” my blog! :) You mean your previous phones didn’t come with cameras?!
