Cowboy Lomo Homo Domo

In search of my lost creativity, I thought it might help if I purchased a Lomo camera and started shooting from the hip. So I made my way down to Objectif at Liang Seah street where I purchased an Actionsampler Flash for SGD106.


With one push of the shutter button, all four lenses fire in perfect synchronicity with the rapid-fire flash. Flash at night to reveal critical action at parties, concerts, and nocturnal events.

The result is as you see above and below. The camera is really really low-tech. It uses film (gasp!) and so it costs a bomb to develop & print. But each shot creates a mini movie with 4 frames. Each frame shows something slightly different. Time is frozen and captured eternal in my little lomo.

But I’m quite glad that I got it. It’s fun and doesn’t require any brainwork to compose a shot. The photos are frightfully fugly but that’s the charm of it. Conclusion: lomography rawks!

Cowboy: Is there a cheaper LOMO? I want to get one but don’t really want to spend so much on a low tech cam.

IZ Reloaded: The Action Sampler without flash cost about 69 bucks. But you have to use ISO 800 film and preferably bright sunlight etc to capture images that is vibrant enough.

You guys don’t know how irritating this Cowboy is with his lomocam. ARGH!
