Lomography? Lomo? Huh. What that be? Me need to know more...You can find a proper history somewhere proper but this is what I can make out. Some evil genius in china in the sixties decided to make the worst camera ever. Its blurry, colours are wrong, wrong, wrong. It saturates, it falls apart and its got a girly name. Diana.
He unleased his weapon of dissappointment upon the western imperialists. Hoping to win the cold war with bad photography.
It was simple evil genius.
But it had a tragic floor, lovers of kitch embraced Diana, called blurrly images 'dreamy', noticed the colour wasn't bad but contrasted. It is art, it is sacred, it is lomography.
I kinda dig it. Eventhough its got a girlie name.
What I don't dig is the evil photoshop lovers that believe that you can emulate these crazy beautiful images on the PC. They are tragically mislead and will die as unsatisfied western imperialists.
Whats also kinda interesting is digital cameras that are giving crazy beautiful images. They aint lomo, they are loco. I kinda dig some camera phones, but if you want some craziness I recommend video cameras with 3 CCD chips, they got a good thing which is something else. The video lens distorts the picture and CCD chips mess with the colours. Here be an example we got out in Iceland.
