It seems like a very obscure movement by now but it has some interesting rules/ideas which perfectly translate to mobile photography using camera phones.
The following are the company's 10 Rules of Lomography:
Take your LOMO everywhere you go and whenever you go.
Use it any time - day or night.
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
Shoot from the hip.
Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
Don't think.
Be fast.
You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
You don't have to know afterwards, either.
Don't worry about the rules.
Does this sound familiar? Isn't this what we already do?
I am curious to hear your thoughts on it. I know I have many random pictures taken in various places which are neither here nor there by normal standards but under these rules could become pieces of art.
I would like to setup a flickr account and see how many and how weird photos we can accumulate.
I will update once the account is setup. Should we call it Nokiography?
