:: as mentioned a couple months ago, I’ve been trying my hand at lomography. Below is the result of my continued struggle to make sense of this silly hipster gadget. The slideshow has few good snaps (all luck) taken at the MIDI festival in Zhenjiang and a spattering of other places around Shanghai. Enjoy.  // AjS

:: I recently bought a Lomo action sampler camera (4 exposures over about 1 second) at this shop as a present for someone. Here is our first go at it what is apparently called Lomography. Decent results and a lot of fun. There is something to be said for the anticipation and suspense created by a camera that: 1) doesn’t have a proper view finder, 2) no immediate photo review screen, 3) and a couple days wait for the film to develop. The mood and character captured by Lomo snaps is unique – almost like a mini movie; a sliver of time and reality. I like it.  // AjS
