Besides which, it seems that lomography is limited to a certain acceptable aesthetic and for a photo-philosophy so free they have ten golden 'rules'. A contradiction? I don't really care, Lomo cameras are fantastic, but I didn't realise that there are people out there who are making up their own ideology where action led photography is concerned. 'Cool' is the first word that comes to mind. But it's not the right one. ::::chris:::: I found out about LOMO a few years ago and whilst I loved the principles it was difficult to escape the fact that this was a marketing campaign for a camera company.

Like you, I'm a bit disturbed by the prescriptive way lomography.com frames what is supposed to be unstructured, without reference to the canon etc. etc. Chris, I agree – it is a bit of a contradiction.
