Lomography and the 10 Golden Rules

What the Hell is Lomography?
Lomography is a globally-active organization dedicated to experimental and creative photography. With millions of followers and friends across the world, the concept of Lomography encompasses an interactive, vivid and sometimes even blurred and crazy way of life. Through our constantly expanding collection of innovative cameras, instant products, films, lenses & photographic accessories, we promote photography as an inventive approach to communicate, absorb and capture the world.

For me Lomography is all about having fun, taking pictures and lose control..

This is a sample of what I found online that is the perfect christmas gift for anyone. I also recommend to give away older cameras that provide the same type of images (cameras that can be found at flea markets for almost nothing).

But who would not want a pink leopard Diana or a camera with Alice in Wonderland? "through this lens is wonderland".. or the cool POP 9?

Lomography and the 10 Golden Rules - Retro Camera Review








My new Diana 151 camera

Now, I have put film in my new Diana 151 camera ready for next week's adventure - out on town and find the christmas spirit (800 Asa color film).

The Diana camera is a so-called "toy camera" that originated in the 1960s produced by the Great Wall Plastic Co. in China.

Most Dianas use 120 film but some versions of the camera take 127 or 620 film.
Each frame is 4cm x 4cm so a roll of 120 film will give you 16 frames.
Focusing is done by twisting the lens to 3 zones, 4-6ft, 6-12ft, or 12ft to infinity.









I need to clean my Diana a little bit more, looks like it has been in the mud.

IKEA magic and music with Vomito Negro

New boxes from Ikea "Tjena" they finally have the boxes in black. When I bought them before, they were in baby blue (50´s feeling).

And my new black notebook "Svärtan" that will be my most secret notebook ever. Where I collect all the ready photos and notes for my own book.
