So no one is getting married or crucified? What’s this bank holiday for? Not that we’re complaining, we’ve got loads of stuff to do…
Lomography Sports Day
Saturday 28th May 1pm, Victoria Park, E9 7BT. FREE
Remember the days when you could take pictures of people without them instantly dropping their pose and demanding to see it, then demanding you take it again then delete it? It was a simpler time. Then again, you didn’t have to worry about the prints being strewn all over the internets and having all your chins tagged for the world to see.
Lomography stores have organised a sports day with traditional games of tug of war, egg and spoon relay a much more. Bust out that retro sports gear, yeah?

I was helping my nephew draw a picture the other day. He asked me to draw the two holes on the face. “You mean ‘eyes’ right?” I asked. “Nope, the things you put your fingers in”. Without any nostril details in sight Stik people are simplified caricatures familiar on the London street art scene.
