Lomography

So, I was walking down Queen St West on Saturday and what store should I discover? Lomography.  What is Lomography? Well, I think it’s best if I just quote what the website says:

“Lomography is a Magazine, a Shop, and a Community dedicated to analogue photography. It began with a fateful encounter in the early 1990s, when two students in Vienna, Austria, stumbled upon the Lomo Kompakt Automat – a small, enigmatic Russian camera. Mindlessly taking shots from the hip, and sometimes looking through the viewfinder, they were astounded with the mindblowing photos that it produced – the colours were vibrant, with deep saturation and vignettes that framed the shot – it was nothing like they had seen before! Upon returning home, friends wanted their own Lomo LC-A, igniting a new style of artistic experimental photography that we now know as Lomography!”

So, that’s that! I bought a Diana Mini with flash and gels and also grabbed two Fuji Superia 400 35mm expired film! Sometimes, analogue is more fun!
