More than just a camera
Lomo really is more than just a camera - it’s a completely different state of photographic mind. With Lomo, the everyday becomes beautiful. The boring becomes cool. The lovely becomes dreamlike and inconceivably haunting. Color and light take on completely new meanings. I love Lomo.

Saturated and heavy with mood
Lomo makes me happy ! You look at life through a different lense - literally. Lomo is a little off centre, off balance, out of fous, soft around the edges. The colours are saturated and heavy with mood. the It tells more than a mere 125th of a second usually does - it conveys a sense of what went before or what may lie ahead.

It's everything, really
Lomo is more than a camera - it's a way of life. The philosophy centres around a way of taking photographs (or "lomographs" as they're known) without the constraints associated with normal photos. Carry your camera everywhere you go, shoot from the hip and enjoy what you get as a result. The Lomo photography website [see left] invites Lomo users to show their images at a "lomohome" - it's everything really. And the photos you get back! The colours, the way the lens works - it's all perfect, and in a tiny piece of point and press brilliance.
