I now shoot as I walk. Thinking about Lomos. My daughter Annie was interested in them. So I went to check out the excellent site www.lomography.com. Why is it excellent? Someone is making a fortune with junk cameras from the 70's. They own the world rights and have turned failing to virtue. I was delighted and awestruck at the sheer effrontery.

I wondered what it would take to get the "lomographic" effect. I turned iPhoto on stun, took pictures "in the moment" et voila. Now a lomographic purist would argue the point. Would probably wag a finger and say, a fake is a fake. Yes, but junk photography is fun and cheap. So there.
