Today Roehampton sent us on a scavenger hunt around central London. We were given a disposable camera, a list of clues, and a 1-day travel card before we were sent out into the world. We (6 other girls and myself) mastered the London transportation system in every sense of the word. We took the overground train, the tube, busses, the Clipper (boats down the Thames) and, of course, we walked a lot too. It took a little less than 9 hours to complete the entire list, and we were all exhausted after clue 5, but we finished! The list of clues and disposable camera were then returned to the Student Union at Roehampton where they will be evaluated for quality. (It was a competition, after all.) Hopefully in a few days they will upload the pictures to Flickr and then I'll post them on the blog. We should find out in a few days who won the competition. It was more about creativity of the photo than it was about finding the correct landmark. I feel we succeeded in both of these aspects.
At any rate, here are some photos I snapped with my digital camera along the way. Some are also stolen from my friend Jessica's digital camera. (Thanks Jessica!) I took loads with my LOMO LC-A+ so more will be coming as soon as I finish the roll and have it processed.
Cheers!
