Hi,
For my first post, I would like to send you a little text that I just made about this movement called"Lomography". This movement is mainly based on the use of many cameras as Lomo Lc-a, Holga, Lubitel, Diana etc..





Here is the link to the Pdf document:








I'm waiting for your comments.

    Great essay. I'm just a little confused about the definition of lomography. Is it just a trend in photography based on "take what you want without thinking" rules or a movement around a special type of camera (lots of lomo pictures show round - fish-eye lense - edges).

    Finally, is it - by any mean - related to vernacular photography?

    In fact, lomography is yet becoming a movement around a particular and fashion type of camera because it's "lomographic society"'s owners masterplan to earn money. But the first spirit was about"be free from all photographic obligations and change the frame"...It's a little bit more about money now...
