Lomography


Shimon Shlevich
With the world going digital, it's great to find the treasures and pleasures of the old school style regaining recognition.  When it comes to photography these days, who isn't a photographer (from iphones to SLRs).
-Sascha Abramovich aka Break Phreak
For some this kills the art, the uniqueness, the value.  For me, I think the more the merrier - make it a more competitive art. Show me something quality in a world full of images - show me something creative and exceptional.  
Ah... in steps Lomography.  
Shimon Shlevich
What is Lomography?  It started from the "orignal" Russian Lomo-compact Automat camera (LC-A) which was discovered by two students from Austria traveling around the world.  They fell in love with the look, the feel and never let it go - spreading it around the world in the last few decades, sharing Lomography with everyone. Lomography has become the worlds largest analogue brand producing not only cameras but also films, fashion, books and more.

I am a serious lover of its snapshot quality and the creative range you can take with it.

From various camera styles, films, processing, lenses, contrast qualities, to playing around with exposures - it takes all the creative abilities of photography outside of the frame itself and inside the hands of the photographer. 
They're bringing back analogue photography as a cultivated art.  



 Besides who doesn't love playing with film?
