Going Lomo

Our friend R bought a low tech Lomo camera, and I had no clue. Man, was I in for a surprise. I have been an amateur photographer since the late seventies, and always thought that the better quality equipment, the better the pictures. Man, was I wrong. Lomo is a Russian built 35mm camera with next to no features, but it has a devoted audience who upload their Lomo shots 24/7, from all over the world. It is truly amazing.
Wait, there's more. There is also a Chinese plastic camera called the Holga. More on the Holga tomorrow.
