They didn’t swap their old film cameras with the advent of a digital revolution and formed a league of their own.
Calling themselves after a Soviet-made camera “Lomo Kompakt Automat,” lomographers don’t stage their shoots, don’t wait for the special light and often snap pictures without even looking into a viewfinder.
In fact, you may be one of them if you believe that capturing a moment is more important than hunting after an artistic value in one’s image.
During their festival, you can climb inside a giant photo camera, get lost in a maze of pictures, check various photo installations and tune in for the party later in the evening.
Friday – Saturday, May 13-15, Lavra Gallery, 1 Lavrska St., www.lomofest.org/en, no entrance fee.
