Lomography

Hello again, analogue lovers! I hope you haven't been waiting too long for the second part of this tutorial. I hope that, now that you're well-informed on the basic equipment you'll need for C-41 home development, you're ready for the actual development process itself, which we will be covering in its entirety in this article.

I have been a busy bee this past week. I'm in the middle of a collaboration with my boyfriend -- our first collaboration ever -- which I will hopefully feature here next week, and I've been looking for fresh photo ideas here on Lomography and also on Flickr.

When you’re traveling and engrossed in all that visual “porn” of new places you are about to discover, it’s very easy to forget about the real world. After all, all you really need to worry about are who to meet with, where to eat, and what next to see or experience.

The dust had barely settled behind us at the California-Oregon border when our tire popped, leaving us stranded in a small Oregon city (if you can call it that) in the middle of the widest gray sky I’ve ever seen in my life while men with heavy country accents replaced all our tires. I thought it a bad omen and grumpily urged my boyfriend to drive us back to LA, already missing its sun and its big city conveniences.

Here's a quick fix for that large Russian Lubitel tripod thread!

I have no intention of planting my roots just yet and I have seriously been considering leaving LA but she makes it so hard for me to leave her.

People are often surprised that I develop and even cross process my own negatives in the comfort of my own home, especially after they've seen my photos. And I am often surprised that they’re surprised, considering how easy it is to do.

Last week was not particularly creatively productive or eventful for me.

Here's the part two of my lengthy but hopefully extensive review of Lomography's Belair x 6-12.

The massive and powerful waves of the Pacific and the jagged rocks at the bottom of the California coast constantly meet with such intensity and force.

There's this book that I love. It neither holds revelations about our existence nor engages in a discussion about the state of the world. It’s not extraordinarily smart nor is it brilliantly creative. Nonetheless, I hold it in very high regard.

When the Lomo X-Pro Slide 200 meets the Lubitel, it's a more than just simple magic.

There are films and cameras that are simply and clearly made for each other and the photographs they produce together are just pure poetry.

I rarely venture into the Valley these days but I make an exception every now and then for Ventura Boulevard.

Do something different and do a photo shoot inspired by your favorite poem or song.

Most of us live our lives hoping that “something wonderful” would happen to us but if they don't come, we can always turn to the smaller stuff.

It was completely by accident.

Here's a photo series about what happens after love...

Up on the Pacific Coast Highway, where the wild sea meets the peaceful cliffs, is the El Matador Beach, one proof that Los Angeles is far from the obnoxious city it has come to be known as.
