Happy 25th Birthday Lomo: 6 Ways to Commemorate
Twenty-five years ago, a phenomenon was born — who would have thought that a little plastic camera would have such an effect on our photographic lives? I love my Lomo and use it as much as I can, so this weekend I'll be celebrating the occasion by packing my Holga wherever I go and snapping away. Check out a few other ways you can celebrate and commemorate the anniversary of the Lomo camera.
Lomo Notebook: For All Your Deep Photography Thoughts
The vintage-loving souls who are into Lomo cameras (myself included) will dig this Lomo Notebook ($20), which asks you to get back to pen and paper for note-taking, not some fancy cell phone app.
Not only does the Lomo Notebook give you space to make notes about shots and locations, but it comes packed with Lomo info for you: lomography products, stores, "Lomo doctors" and a calendar.
Plus, you get to say "lomo" a lot, which is just fun.
Geek Tip: Lomo-fy Your Digital Photos
After all the fun I had making my photos look like tiny models with the Tilt-Shift effect, I had to look for something new to add to my effects arsenal. I love my Lomo camera and the effect it produces, but to be honest, I don't always have the cash to throw down for film or development. It can get pretty darn expensive!
The LOMO Colorsplash Camera
Most of you loved the Lomolitos Colored Cameras, so I figured I'd share this updated version with not one, but a whopping thirteen colored filters! Featured on GeekAlerts, the Lomography Colorsplash 35MM Camera uses tinted flash filters and long exposure settings to create dreamy-streaked retro style images that are rich in color! For $50 you will get the camera, a battery, film, poster, extra color filters, and a skin camera bag.
Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Red Oktomat Camera
The fun functionality of the Oktomat Camera by Lomo cannot be ignored: It has eight small lenses that "fire and turn" in 2.5 seconds, creating a multi-frame mini photo vignette. And while it's only $35, one has to wonder if the camera is a little too chunky in this era of super slim cameras. Does the camera's shape and noisy design overshadow its purpose, or do you think it's appropriate that it's a little bulky?
Do You Ever Experiment With Funky Fun Cameras?
Lately I've been seeing quite the array of unique manual cameras. Remember the colored Lomolitos cameras and the hilarious fisheye lens camera? And check out this one below - the Lomo Oktomat 35mm camera with eight built-in lenses.
Love It Or Leave It: Lomolitos Colored Cameras
I see blue, I see red, I see green, I see yellow. Now all your pictures can be color-coded with the artsy Lomography Lomolitos Single Use Camera. Each camera comes pre-loaded with 24-exposure film and a single colored filter that can be switched on or off.

The Pink Lomo: A Pink Gadget Even I Can Love
I know I'm totally all over the place about my stance on pink gadgets. On the one hand, I hate that it's a go-to color weakly used to market gadgets to women.
On the other hand, when a gadget is merely offered in pink additionally, and not just in a "It's pink!
Complete Your Lomo Arsenal With a Lomo Sidekick Bag
Like I've been telling you, this Lomo craze isn't going anywhere, and to prove it, here come some accessories. If you've gotten your camera, flash, and film ready to go, it follows that you need a bag to toss it all in. And I don't just go for any bag — I need a side of style to go with my function.
Chrome-a-Lomo Ding Dong
If my tutorial sideshow about what Lomo cameras are all about gave you a sudden interest in the retro cameras, now is a good time to get in on the action — Urban Outfitters has two new Lomos in shiny, shiny chrome.
The Diana F+ Camera Chrome Edition one-ups the original black and turquoise Diana and comes in at $90 with a matching flash.
Meanwhile, the Lomography Fisheye 2 Chrome Edition, on the right ($110), is plastic like the chrome Diana, but its rendering makes it look metal, doesn't it?
