More on its way

These days are strange days. I am not talking about the beginning of the twenty-first century. I mean these first days of August. They are tough for a lomofan. If the lomofan is based in Sofia, that is. It is either too hot to go outside (if you do, you and your camera, let alone that beautiful analog film inside risk melting). Or it is raining with some record high so-and-so-much-liters-of-water-per-square-meter (if you would go outside then you and camera would drown together with your famous last words).

What can one do apart from browsing the Internet, and seeking -and finding!- other lomofans and other great photography sites? Well, one can spend his hard earned pay on more cameras. I have found some great little beauties from the late fifties and early sixties, like the Agfa Isola and the Ilford Sporty.

I will let you know what they're like as soon as they're here. In the meantime I am happy to announce that the great lomo community here in Bulgaria is growing. Slowly but steadily. And even though technically the new old cameras that are on their way are not lomo or lomography, they are for sure lomo-like. They will open the eyes of new fans of the old old: analog. As for old fans: grab one while you can (I promise I won't keep them all for myself).

Take care, stay out of the heath, be careful of the rain, and I hope to see you soon to share some good photography news with you....
