| | ACP - Why I don't like LOMOgraphy |
 | | LOMOgraphy, like all things new and radical, is easy to criticize in the light of the old conventions – in fact, the breaking with those conventions, and perhaps the antagonizing of those who abide by them, is one of the reasons (if not the reason) why LOMOgraphy became so popular. |
 | | I think it would be alright if LOMOgraphy had honest intentions to begin with, and that the big bandwagon of hipsters later corrupted it by going through the motions but not experimenting with the form, but I can't help feeling that LOMOgraphy is an orchestrated hype, a marketing trick right from the get-go. |
 | | The intent of LOMOgraphy as a philosophy is to let go of all the burdens of traditional photography, and capture life as it is, as directly as possible. |
