Zone-focus 35mm compact camera. This Russian-made lo-fi camera was popular with the photography hipsters in the early aughts, myself included.
This camera stayed on my person constantly in the days before smartphones. I started using it less after I got a digital point-and-shoot in 2004 and an Olympus XA in 2005.
First Lomography Attempt
The roll of Lomo film I sent off to Snapfish has been developed, and the pics are up on their site. After seeing some of the crap other “lomographers” have produced, I was apprehensive about what my first roll was going to look like. But, as it turns out, I’m actually pretty pleased with the results.
To show you what the Lomo difference looks like, I’ve restrained myself from editing these photos at all—no color correction, no adjustments. I specifically requested that Snapfish make no color corrections to the prints, either. It goes against every digital instinct I have, letting these photos keep their flourescent green caste, but I’m doing it for the good of the order. Let me know what you think…
