Though A Woman's Lens: Lomography book/camera combo!

The lush, haunting style of photography known as lomography has been mesmerizing cameraheads for decades. The effect is achieved through modifications in the camera's design, creating an alternate reality of skewed color and form.

The Parisian boutique Colette and Lomography.com have teamed up to produce an awesome lomography package, consisting of a beautiful book and an amazing camera: the Diana F+ Colette Edition.

The latter is the Colette Diana F+ camera, specially designed to produce glints in the eye, spring in the step, and funkiness in the photo. "Covered by Colette’s trademark blue spots, it hosts all features of the renowned Lomography Diana F+. Dating back to the early 1960s, the all-plastic Diana camera is a cult legend - famous for its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images."

The book, entitled "Dianalogues Part 1: Through a Woman's Lens", examines point of view and gender from 10 different female perspectives. (Including Claw Money!) The talented contributors, who were selectively chosen from women around the world, create a back-and-forth conversation between word and image.

The package is available exclusively on colette.fr and lomography.com. Check it out!

Photography Lomography


Tonight the Lomography company is opening a new gallery and store in the Big Apple. The party will include a live performance by A Hawk and A Hacksaw, plus food and drink and other Lomographic goodies.

The Lomography Gallery Store features the largest LomoWall in North America; made o of 35,000 hand-picked lomographs.


In addition, the store will offer events, parties, and exhibitions, including a stop by the Diana World Tour in November 2009 where hundreds of classic Diana cameras from the 60s & 70s will be on display.
Their photo technique is inspired by the "charmed unique, colorful, and sometimes blurry" images that the camera produced.

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, blurring, and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic technique."
