ABOUT US
We are a community whose strong passion is creative and experimental analogue film photography. We hunger for lenses, light meters, flash units, tripods, cameras and, above all, FILM. With a film roll, you have to think carefully about the moment. We wait all day to capture the perfect light on a cherry blossom or the fall of an autumn leaf.

Why do we take photographs? Do we take them for other people to admire our skills? Do we take them as a record, document or as a trophy? Do we create them to advertise to our friends that we are having a beautiful, successful, and enviable life?

We create images for ourselves, we appreciate what is around us and this act helps us to express ourselves. It doesn't really matter if no one gets it as long as it was a meaningful exercise to us. We enjoy the process rather than the outcome. When someone appreciates our photographs, it is indeed rewarding. Someone else understands us, someone else gets it too.

Lomography is about being in the moment, having fun while taking good pictures & capturing it with your favourite Lomographic tool – producing effects like light leaks, vignette framing and deep saturated colours!
We salute the Lomography 10 Golden Rules:
01 Take your camera everywhere you go.
02 Use it any time – day and night.
03 Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
04 Try the shot from the hip.
05 Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
06 Don’t think. (William Firebrace)
07 Be fast.
08 You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
09 Afterwards either.
10 Don’t worry about any rules.

We firmly believe that there are always something to share with others in everyone's heart, either joy or grief. It can be a book, a movie, a pleasant record, some photographs... or anything. We welcome you to share the stories behind something that you like. L.m. hopes that everyone can share every little thing about life through photographs and words. We can express how we feel to be alive in our world and let everyone else to see the world through our eyes. This act can narrow the gap between people and make our life less stressful.

L.m. hope that this is not just a place for sharing, but as a platform for interaction to promote the LOMO culture!

繁华喧闹、功利主义的都市,已经侵蚀了人们的心灵;海市蜃楼的背后,装载的却是失去灵魂的躯体。围绕在大家四周围的,只有陌生、冷漠、无情与互相猜测..... 生活,变得好累...好累...

生存在这样的一个环境,每个人都已经开始迷失了自我,拼命追求一些虚无缥缈的东西,以致忽略了身边的人与事。想想看,自己有多久没去关心家人、伴侣和朋友了?你还是父母心中那个永远天真无邪,怀着赤子之心的孩子吗?

虽然如此,我们仍坚信着在每个人心里,总会有一些东西想和别人分享,或喜、或悲.....  它可以是一本书、一部电影、一张好听的唱片、一些照片..... 任何的事物,都欢迎大家分享它们背后的故事。L.M.希望大家能分享生活中的点点滴滴,透过照片与文字,抒发自己的情感,让大家看看你眼中的世界,籍此拉近人与人之间的距离,让生活不再那么沉重。

L.M.希望这不仅仅是分享,还希望是大家相互交流的平台,推广LOMO文化!
