I just got a Lomo camera from my uncle for Christmas, and I have to say that it is one of the top favorite objects I own right now. I carry it almost everywhere with an extra canister of film. It takes 4 separate shots within roughly two seconds. There is an amazing 1970's glow to every shot and they're really unpredictable in themselves. These two photos were my favorites from the first role that I took. The one of my dad driving reminds me of the photographs where light is maniupulated by leaving the shutter open; the line of light that shines along his arm and the wheel seems to make that sort of a shape.
One of my friends commented how the bottom right photo would be so creepy on it's own, but in the set it comes off just as a sillohuette. The top photo is a flock of seagulls on the Hudson after they all got startled.
I also got a BandW roll developed which came out with really great contrast, but I think I prefer to work with color in this camera because the '70's style is emphasized. Tomorrow I pick up 3 more sets of prints! Matte vs. glossy??
