The super Lomo shots

The Lomo camera was originally a KGB spy camera. Now it is a pop culture icon, due in no small part to the power of brilliant marketing.

Lomo photos are characteristically overexposed, saturated with colors and have a tunneling effect where the edges of the photos are darker.

I first saw an ActionSampler, one of the core Lomo models, at projectshopBLOODbros at Wisma. For a toy camera with cheap plastic parts, the price was a stretch.

Then Mr. Ego got one and shot madly with it. He then proceeded to spam his friends the pictures. That was Lomo love at second sight for me.

A year later, yshwer got a Holga for her birthday. So here we have, a few of our favorite ones from her virgin film:



And because I found way to cheat with my shots, here are mine, of the only model I sleep with:
