Call to action! New Orleans! Lomography! What?!?

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go and Misha needs your help to fund her Kickstarter project. I backed her first project, "Adventures in Lomography - New York", a couple years ago and she did not disappoint. Now she's putting together a lomo New Orleans book. Imagine how cool people will think you are when they see this book on your coffee table. I mean, whoa.

Go to there, like now.

Misha Ashton's first book, Adventures in Lomography - New York.

Foto Friday: Lomo Part 2

Remember a couple weeks ago when I introduced you to my lomo crush? It's finally time for part 2: my lomo photos. 

I decided to treat my film cameras like a digital. I used my Diana and Oktomat just as I do my digital camera so that I could study the differences. Honestly, I don't think it made for very interesting photos. For the next rolls, I'll be experimenting with double exposures.

Have you done any experimental photography lately?

I ♥ lomography. If you aren't familiar, lomography is lo-fi photography. It's about film and plastic and light leaks and surprises. And often hipsters. It began in 1982 with some Russian envy of Japanese lenses and a few curious Austrian students (read more about that at lomography.com). 

My current fave toy cameras: Diana and Oktomat.

You must check out Misha Ashton, a fantastic lomographer. I am really enjoying (and envying) her Flora and Fauna double exposure series. 

Moose & Cherry Blossoms. Top-notch, yes?

I first became familiar with Misha through her Kickstarter campaign.  The campaign helped her produce the amazing book of photos pictured below. It's the first in a series and it looks like there is 1 copy left in her Etsy Shop!

Next Friday, in Lomo Part 2, I will share some of my lomo photos with you. Until then - don't think, just shoot. From the hip.
