LOMOGRAPHY DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!!

LOMO or Leningradskoye Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie (Leningrad Optical Mechanical Amalgamation) is a manufacturer of advanced optical instruments, medical equipment and consumer cameras, based in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Lomography is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of St. Petersburg, Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the 35 mm LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera - which became the centerpiece of Lomography's marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 1980s.

The following are the company's "10 Rules of Lomography":
1 Take your LOMO everywhere you go and whenever you go.
2 Use it any time - day or night.
3 Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
4 Shoot from the hip.
5 Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
6 Don't think.
7 Be fast.
8 You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
9 You don't have to know afterwards, either.
10 Don't worry about the rules.
