Valentines Day
OK, I normally wouldn’t feature just a synopsis of a companies’ cameras. But since I got an email promo from Birgit Buchart over at Lomography on their Valentine’s Day specials, I just clicked on a couple of links. Holy mackerel! Although I own a few Lomography cameras, I was actually unaware of the plethora of variants. Even for stupid Valentine’s Day. Yes, I said stupid. While I did get some chocolates in a heart shaped box for my 11 year old daughter, as an official member of Spanky’s ‘He-Man Woman-Haters Club’,…I think it’s a Hallmark scam. There. I said it. Not very PC,…but, so what? Kill me.
Loving Lomography
However, I’ll glean what I can from the promotional PDF. Since we’re talking about film cameras here,…I’m starting to feel the love. Basically, Lomography is taking a pseudo romantic glance back at some of its’ most unique analog “loves”. And some of these treasures are bound for collectors glory. Kind of like “investing” in the first Mac. Like the Diana F “Love Machine”. Actually, it’s called “Love Letters”. I know what you’re saying; YUCK! Sure. But, due to an educated guess at the future rarity of some models, how many of these babies will make it to Christie’s in 2050?
Now that I’ve spilled my proverbial guts all over the page, let me just pass along the promo. Obviously written by someone “in love”. From its legendary love affair with the LC-A+, to its ten year romance with the Diana F+, as well as countless magical memories made with instant cameras; this Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love that truly lasts. Fall in love with analog again and choose from an eclectic range of experimental products in the Lomography Online Shop.

The thing about these cameras is I can imagine a new world Andy Warhol eventually producing stunning images that receive accolades from the poo poo art world.
Since everyone who reads this blog knows what lomography is, I’ll leave out the last part of the promo. I’ll just end with pricing and simplicity are the hallmarks of these cameras. Everyone should have at least one. I’m especially in love with my Lomography Belair instant camera. The good thing is,…Lomography is fine with you seeing other people. Uhh,…I mean using other cameras. 🙂
