Lomography for the Apartment

Snap Sights Underwater Camera

The revolution for digital cameras changed the face of photography in the snap of a shutter. It made it easy for the average Joe or Jane to become a photographer, to edit photos, and to print pictures without a traditional darkroom.

Analog cameras have become a thing of the past and they sell for about 2 cents to the dollar which means you can get them used for about five bucks. Most of the ones that I have found from thrift stores are in perfect shape. Some of them have light leaks which lends to creating dreamy images. In fact, homemade pinhole cameras, the Diana cameras, and Holga cameras, are made with light leaks purposefully to create the lomography style. Click here to see more about lomography.

Some of the cameras that I use are the Nikon L35, a Mango camera, a Polaroid Spectra, an underwater Snap Sight 38mm, a Konica MT-9, and a Yashica 38mm.

Some of these cameras like the Mango camera produce artsy images from the light leaks and the cheap plastic lens. What you get are photographs that are unique and decorative and when blown up and framed they make great apartment art. I've enlarged many of these images and alternated them to keep the the look of the interior interesting.
