In the last years, in the time that the digital world destroying the analog world, photography develop new hype: Lomography
No, I am not speaking on another group of veteran photographers that guards in all their power the old analogical photography, in the contrary, this hype arrives surprisingly actually from the young generation that grows on digital.
The young generation discovered photography in a new dimension: Lomography.
What is Lomography?
As this is new for me as well I suggest the best way to learn about it is to visit their website and read.

It was in the early 1990s when two students in Vienna, Austria
discovered a small enigmatic Russian camera, the Lomo Kompakt Automat
and started a new style of artistic experimental photography of unorthodox snapshots.
In the blink of an eye the Lomographic message spread around the planet
and people from North to South were screaming for Lomo LC-A’s.
So they hopped on a plane, flew to St. Petersburg and negotiated a contract for the worldwide
distribution of this fantastic little camera.
Then everything happened quickly for Lomography.
We set up the 10 golden rules as our guiding principals, held numerous exhibitions, world congresses, parties and events.
Mounted groundbreaking collaborations and projects, installed lomography.com as our communication hub,
developed new products, films and accessories all while opening up-Lomography Gallery Stores in metropolises worldwide.
