I ran across this photo at one of my favorite photo and graphic design blogs, ffffound.com. While it doesn’t blow me away, it did remind me of something I’ve been intrigued by for a while: lomography. Lomography is a sort of lo-fi approach to photography through the use of cheap, plastic cameras, leaky camera bodies, and medium format film. Photos like these typically show that circular vignetting around the border and often focus on multiple exposure and light leaks on single. While lomography, the company that sells these cameras, stresses the cheapness of their products, the niche market created by these cameras keeps them a little too pricey for a novelty. After all, I just don’t want to pay $70 for a camera that’s supposed to be crappy.
