lomography: photography without education

don’t think, just shoot

lomo.jpgThe lomographic Society International is dedicated to a style of random and immediate photography. The site is fascinating, even if the results are intentionally pedestrian, everyday, and strangely composed.
See THE.10.GOLDEN.RULES_. It is like automatic writing with a Russian camera.
Note that word is a commercial trademark – a company has pushed the technique and their LOMO camera which is available for sale on the site. This camera in turn has been licensed from a Russian company that originally made them. See Lomography: Information From Answers.com. I love the name and idea, but smell a cult.
