I Love Lomo was started by me, Amber Smith, aka Kat.
Im addicted to film and love lomo/holga type cameras. I started this site because I got tired of the impersonal, sometimes “loaded” environments of flickr groups (every photo is AWESOME to everyone, lack of time taken to look, real criticism or reward and basic give-shittedness) and the barrenness of the Lomography member area. This site does have a flickr group because wordpress has such great integration tools. The group can be seen on the sidebar of the blog and I post all my photos in blogs through another plugin.

I hope for the forum to be an area where we can trade tips, tricks, techniques and experiences with Lomo, Holga, and pretty much ANY lofi camera.

I have a Polaroid Colorpack II, an old Lomo Smena 8, a holga with hotshoe, a Regula Sprinky (sprinty), a brownie bullseye, a brownie bullet, a mionolta 110 SLR, a homemade argus pinhole camera, several toy 110 cameras, a Pentax pz-1p, duaflex IV, and a Pentax 6×7 with a polaroid back. I have been into photography for about 12 years now and at least 5 of those years were spent in photography classes and hours in the darkroom but I have managed to still reject commercial photography and stick to art. As much as I’d like to make a living at photography, I dont want to hate it.

I’ll answer any photography questions I can but the best part about lomography is that its meant to be experimental, not necessarily learned.
