Photographic artwork, (and other mediums too eventually) are printed in the Foundation’s darkroom, then framed or mounted ready for distribution. These works are then placed in situ in unique locations. These locations are not where you would normally put artworks. We hope the works will persist in these locations, or be picked up by members of the public, who will go home and treasure them forever. Otherwise the works may be picked up by the bin men, and that will be that.

Lomography Super Newbie Guide – http://analogbreakfast.wordpress.com/lomography-super-newbie-guide/
Lomography in theory is a hodge-podge of previous photographic ideas. In terms of approach the closest would be the concept of snap shot photography where any one could capture a photo and shooting from the hip means to take the photo impulsively. Which of course can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at things or maybe your skill and experience level. Initially this will mean good photographs produced merely out of luck and an instinctive sense of when the right moment comes but as you progress further, like any other field, it will become a mix of skill, and other extraneous factors that you learn to make the best of. Mind you that, shooting by means of muscle memory and impulse is something that is aimed for in some art forms and religions. Like a skillful archer, swordsman or painter it has to come to a point where you must master the fundamentals , commit them to muscle memory then you let all the theory and lessons go. Learn but do not obsess.
Eddy Peters theorizes that lomography is the reclamation of urban space, similar to skateboarders, Lomographers , use the city by way of documenting it and its intricacies and inanities. By means of lomography, the shooter creates an aesthetic that suddenly gives value to mundane objects like the shoes the shooter is wearing or signs on the road or random objects & weirdos encountered on the street or wherever the shooter is.To the lomographer, these are the things which comprise the essence of his or her world.
In terms of the movement, if we remove the marketing ploy of LSI, at its core and as someone observed and relayed to me once. Lomography to a large extent is closest to Dadaism which was an anti-thesis to traditional formalistic art. Lomography attempts to ignore most of the rules of traditional photography like composition, sharpness, color correctness, aperture, depth of field and so on. Which is not to say you need not learn these things. It is also to a large extent, a movement that resists but does not condemn digital photography. It is a counter culture favoring the traditional form of photography with the use of analog cameras and films. At the same time, lomography takes advantage of the internet by forming forums, groups and communities dedicated to a technology that is removed from the digital world. In terms of the aesthetic sensibilities of the images the closest would be an aspect of photographic impressionism or impressionist photography in the sense that it leans towards images that are softer in focus or the way the human eye would see what is being photographed. A disclaimer to this is that we are not speaking of the later aspects of impressionist photographs which are heavily manipulated in the dark room to make them look like paintings, which in today’s time is the equivalent of photoshopping your images till they no longer resemble the original.

Robert Frank: Dissecting the American Image – http://jnocook.net/frank/frank.htm
A pinhole camera that records images on 5x4in positive paper will go on sale next month, the owner of the Ilford film brand has confirmed.
The British-made Harman Titan, a prototype of which was debuted at the Focus on Imaging show six months ago, will cost £150.
There will be three versions of pinhole: 72mm; 110mm; and 150mm – the latter delivering the same focal length as a traditional 5x4in camera, said Steven Brierley, director of sales and marketing at Harman technology Ltd which owns the famous Ilford black & white film brand.
The 110mm and 150mm versions are planned as optional extras.
In addition to a 5×4 film positive holder, the Harman Titan kit will include a ‘reciprocity failure chart’ to help photographers work out the correct exposure, said Brierley in an interview with Amateur Photographer (AP) last Friday.
The camera itself features built-in spirit levels and tripod mount positions.
Designed to be robust, the camera is built from ‘tough plastic’ and designed by Mike Walker, a field camera specialist based in North Wales.
AP has learnt that Ilford is investigating the possibility of making the camera compatible with an Apple iPhone, whereby the iPhone would sit on the camera and serve as a ‘viewfinder’.
And the firm is also considering the launch of an accessory that enables the shutter to be triggered by a cable release.
Ilford claims that the camera has received a ‘huge amount of interest from schools and colleges, as well as existing pinhole photographers’.
Brierley hopes the camera will appeal to school science lesson teachers, as the images can be process in a ‘tank’ – thereby dispensing with the need for a darkroom.
The Harman Titan is due to go on sale at the end of October.
