10 Reasons Why I Love Lomography

Updated: May 2, 2023

  1. Film photography

  2. The Holga & Diana F+ plastic cameras

  3. The unpredictability

  4. The Digital Holga

  5. Serious silliness

  6. Using photo knowledge that you once thought was dumb

  7. Affinity with the past

  8. The darkroom

  9. Long exposures

  10. The accessories (filters, lenses, stop watch, tripod, flash)

Lomography's motto is "don't think just shoot." As you load your film and wind it to the first frame it's printed on the film paper. I like to think and shoot. That's my lomo style. Film makes one think and I like that. It's expensive and there are "x" amount of tries for an image. Film photography is not easy; it's the good, the bad and the ugly. Like life. Like love; the love of Lomography.
