A LOMO story
Seems like 1983 was a fine year. It’s the year of my birth, a famous radio station in Belgium began broadcasting, I hear it was a very good wine-year, Steve Jobs started Apple computer and at LOMO they sold their first LC-A camera. I started to do photography after I bought my first camera (an LC-A) at Colette in Paris. Since then, I have a different look at things, let’s call it the LOMO look.
After a few years I wanted more than just do some random hip-shot-photography. I wanted to play with depth of field, sharp edges, cropping, … I still loved the LOMO effect, but I guess I wanted to have full control. When someone asked me that he sold his Nikon D70 for a sharp price, I didn’t think twice… SOLD! A few weeks ago, my girl and I upgraded again to this fabulous Nikon D300. Damn fine machine! The high ISO, the quality, the grip, the weight… it’s (semi?) pro!
After all those years I’m a bit sad to say that I’m not using my LOMO LC-A any more. It has a nice place in our IKEA cabinet. But I’ll never forget the LOMO experience. Check here for some more recent photos I took (digital).
