They Keep on Coming!!
Boy, this Lomo LC-A is addictive. One of the most funny things you can do with your clothes on. Sure, some pics are crap, but some of those are so bad, that they're good; sort of a nice B movie.
Then there is also the ocasional "good pic"; you know, the one you expected to be taken, although most times they are nice surprises.

Lomo 2
Lomo
I finally pulled the trigger and I got a Lomo LC-A+ . I was a bit scared about the changes from the LC-A, but I met a long time lomographer who told me that, other than being overpriced, the LC-A+ was as reliable as any other lomo with some nice added features.
I love my dad's Olympus Pen, which is a sweet point and shoot camera which photographed most of my childhood. Sadly the photometer stopped working a year ago. I gotta have it repaired, but I know that due to sentimental reasons that camera will be a "home only camera".
My Leica D-Lux 4 has a pinhole mode which emulates Lomo's vigneting trademark, but I can't emulate the real thing with that. I've also tried the vigneting when procesing DNG files in Photoshop CS3 with basically the same results.
I've just shot my first two rolls and I can't wait to have them developed! I'm on holidays and I'll have to wait until next Tuesday... wait, being om holidays is supposed to be a good thing; I'm nuts.

And finally, the 10 rules of lomography:
1. Take your camera everywhere you go.
2. Use it anytime, day and night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
4. Try the shot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as closely as possible.
6. Don't think (William Firebrace).
7. Be fast.
8. You don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
9. Afterwards, either.
10. Don't worry about any rules.
