My site mainly showcases my “Lomo Photos” – these are basically photos taken with a camera built by Lomo (a Russian camera maker). I have several Lomo-built cameras…
Cameras
Lomo LC-A
The LC-A was launched in 1984 and was a “copy” of the Japanese Cosina CX1 and CX2 camera. It has a good auto-exposure system and an ISO range of 25-400. In the right conditions, the lens produces some wonderful vignetting. During the 1990s, it was discovered by some Austrian students who formed the Lomography Society and pushed for the camera’s continued production. Sadly production of the LC-A finally ended in 2005.

Lomo LC-M
This is the short-lived replacement for the LC-A. Only a few thousand cameras were built in 1986-87. Apart from looking slightly different, it goes up to ISO800 and has a cable release thread.
Lomography LC-A+
When the Lomo LC-A was finally discontinued in 2005, the Lomography Society launched the LC-A+. It’s basically an LC-A with ISO1600, cable release thread and a multiple exposure button.

I sometimes use non-Lomo built cameras, such as the Olympus XA (read/photos) and Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim (read/photos).
Film
The camera isn’t the whole story. The film used can help make or break a photo. A lot of the photos here are “cross processed”, which means that the film was processed in chemicals meant for other types of film. When cross-processed, colours and saturation tend to go a bit crazy!
