How long have you been a Lomographer (or are you new to this whole thing?) i am new! i didn’t really understand until i got the photos developed. now i understand.

Describe the LC-A+ in five words… extremely cool and strange camera

The strangest, funniest, or hands-down greatest photographic/Lomographic encounter that you have ever had… i had my splitzer lens cap on and and a colored flash blazing away, my friend said: ‘what is going on with you???’

If your photos shown here could have a soundtrack of three songs, what would they be (song title & artist please).

the evening descends, evangelicals

queen elvis II, robyn hitchcock

we takin’ over, lil wayne

You’ve got great shots in color, black & white, and cross-processed slide film. Which style is your favorite? cross-processed

If you could be anywhere, doing anything, right now > where would it be and what would you do? well i’m in the south of france, in collioure, with my girlfriend, so i don’t think i’d change anything!

January 20th, 2009 is when the next US president will be inaugurated. In a perfect world, name the first three things that they would do after taking office. repeal the patriot act. scrap the foreign intelligence surveillance act. withdraw all troops out of iraq. WE CAN DREAM CAN’T WE?

There’s quite a lot of spectacular shots taken in the outdoors. Tell us one activity in nature that everyone should do at least once. hike the oregon coast.

The one person (living or deceased) who you would most like to photograph. james posey, basketball player

Your advice to future LC-A+ shooters. don’t think, shoot
