all I want for christmas

L O M O G R A P H Y

my dad (who is oh so hip) was highly suprised when he asked a lovely shop assistant where he could print photos, and she nicely explained directions and put in the good word for them saying that they didn't charge for processing film - to which my dad responded with over exagerated shock and horror that she even used film

.

poor girl went bright red but there was no point trying to explain to the modern man that my father is that she owns a lomo - however freakin' cool they may be!

Lomo FC-A+ (probably no1# on my xmas list)

ahh i want a lomo. no. NEED a lomo.

this is on their website;

At the very core of Lomography lie the 10 Golden Rules - to guide and disarm you of all the formalities and complications that you know about photography. They’re the very essence of our “Don’t Think, Just Shoot” motto. After all, Lomography is all about having fun while taking good pictures. Memorise it by heart, or break all the rules; either way, be ready to throw all your inhibitions about photography away!

1. Take your camera everywhere you go.
2. Use it any time – day and night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
4. Try the shot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
6. Don’t think. (William Firebrace)
7. Be fast.
8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
9. Afterwards either.
10. Don’t worry about any rules.

they are at superette from what I can remember - or the holga (another version of lomo) is anyway, but not quite as cool, or expensive, as the original lomo

how am i to convince my father dearest that i would pretty please like a camera with a film in it, no its not digital...yes it has to be processed...no you can't see the picture in the screen before you take it...
