Lomography: “is a commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is licensed from a former state-run optics company LOMO PLC in St. Petersburg, Russia. The 35 mm LOMO LC-A camera employed an unusual lens which produced large amounts of distortion at the edges of the image whilst keeping the center sharp, and was promoted by businessmen from Austria with international gallery shows.

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Accidents such as over-saturated colors, lens artifacts, and exposure defects are rehabilitated to produce swirly, abstract effects â€??? a trait emphasized by practitioners. Others use the technique to document everyday life, because the small camera size and ability to shoot in low light encourages candid photography, photo reportage and photo vérité.”

Ca sa incheiem, Marco Soellner spune: “Lomographers use it [Lomo] to document their lives and eternalize every day’s life.” Practic, daca blog-ul s-ar scrie cu aparatul foto, acel aparat ar fi un Lomo. Asadar, Lomographik e blog-ul meu. Lomographik este despre cam orice intalnesc si imi starneste o reactie suficient de puternica pentru a-i acorda un post, o fraza, un cuvant. Lomographik e direct inspirat de trupa italiana Klimt1918 si de 1918 la patrat alte lucruri…
