But wtf is Lomo? googling didn’t produce any kind of definition, just sample photos and photoshop tips.
Diana … Holga … Lomo … all roughly synonymous … all the same kind of "stuff." They were sooooo BAD that some people actually thought they were "GooD."
OK, I did get the idea, though some of the example shots did indeed seem … special ….
Reminds me of a performance art piece I went to, when after the main event they showed a special film that was so awful it had me in stitches, fortunately suppressed. It had every bozo mistake my grandmother would make with her 8 mm camera .. camera wandering off to skyline, gross over or under exposure, camera wandering down to picture of photographer’s toe, flares, out of focus blurs. I thought it was a satire. Turns out they were deadly serious and I was the only one who didn’t think it was Art.
I’ll keep my eye peeled for plastic cameras at flea markets :-).
