The Newbie



I really love how photographs show beautiful memories, things, and people. It's been months now since I've had interest in Photography, and now I'm starting to like Lomography too. 

Well, I've discovered that Lomography started when General Igor Petrowitsch Kornitzky and Michail Panfilowitsch Panfiloff requested LOMO PLC factory in St. Petersburg, Russia to make an improved version of the Cosina CX-1, the first ever working LOMO LC-A camera. After that year the LOMO LC-A camera was mass produced and discovered by many people around the world. Also to many Lomographers out there it is a culture. It is capturing each moment with your own toy camera. It does not require you to think, you just have to shoot whatever you feel is beautiful, dramatic, etc. for you. It is something that encourages you to be creative and experimental using your favorite Lomographic tool anywhere you go. Thus, making beautiful images are simply made by using a Lomo camera.  

Knowing these things make me really excited to have my very own Lomo camera. I'm still thinking which camera will suit me because there are a lot to choose from. There's the Holga, Diana Edelweiss, Diana F+, Diana +, Fisheye, LC-A, etc. Well, I just hope that I'd be able to find what camera to buy so that I'd be taking pictures soon. By tomorrow I should have my top choices already.
