Lomo-Schlomo

Lomo-Schlomo

22 Apr 2009

When I first came across the Lomo concept I thought it was a great and liberating idea. Then I read some more and learned it was just a big marketing ploy to sell overpriced crappy cameras. These days, I don't know whether to love or hate it for its success. But I do know I'm staying digital because while Lightroom/Photoshop may not be able to mimic the Lomo effect completely, I sure as shit can't un-Lomoify a print from one of their cameras!

Digital is a poor-man's Lomo? Nah man, digital is a thinking man's (/person's) choice. Either way, the ethos of "casual, snapshot photography [and] happy accidents" can still apply to digital, if you choose.
