Summary:

This is the first official publication on the image-making phenomenon Lomography. The Lomo camera, which emerged from Russia in the 1960s, is cherished for its ease of use and immediacy. Because of its simple, quality glass lens and low-light sensitivity, it remains the tool for capturing the moment and an antidote to all things automatic and digital.

Lomography now enjoys a vast international following with fan clubs, events, competitions and galleries all over the world. This book's extraordinary array of images were selected from 200,000 photographs taken by Lomo-enthusiasts around the globe. As such it is an unprecedented visual record of people's lives.
