Lomography History

Well I first heard about lomography when I did my Art & Design Foundation. Basically the brand was originally Russian and were generally seen as poor in quality when documenting realism but soon became popular when two students from Vienna used it in an "artistic" sense due to vibrant colours and the unpredictable effects. This popularity spread and soon China started to produce these cameras.

You can get a variety of cameras such as:
Diana
Holga
Fisheye
Frogeye
Action Sampler etc.

The picture above is the camera that I bought recently =] it's more like a toy camera, this doesn't stop the fun though. Don't let this deter you =] Act like a kid and be spontaneous!
