Don't think, just shoot.


Every single second has its own unique, light, grey, colourful, woolly, profound, flat mood. Your life is not going to wait for your camera, its rules and the fooling around involved. Either - click - you have captured the situation as it is, or you haven't. This is just 1 of the 10 golden rules of lomography. If you aren't familiar with Lomo cameras, now is the time, they are cheap, durable, produce unique pictures, and you will never miss a moment.



Lomo offers a very wide variety of cameras that all serve different purposes. They have the Colorsplash Camera has 12 color flash options with color splashes that can be used in the same manner as normal flash photography (low light situations) or to add a burst of color to regular photos (whenever you want). The Actionsampler Flash sets off 4 separate high-quality lenses in a clockwise motion, making 4 split images on one picture (quadrant style). The Fisheye Camera sees a sweeping 170-degree view compacting everything around you into a single circular image. The Frogeye Camera is their first water proof camera, ready to work anywhere there is water: the ocean, the shower, the sprinkler, a rainy day. This is just a basic overview of what Lomo offers, they carry these cameras in many different options and models, and also many others. They even have a communal Lomography website where users can upload and share their pictures with anyone.

Oh and did I mention that almost all of their cameras are between $40 and $100, yeahh. You can find the Fisheye and a few others at most Urban Outfitters locations, or just order online.
