Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Lomography – back to basics

Lomo cameras get a strong following in a counter-revolution to digital
photography.


Words Ben Morgan

Now, I feel ashamed to admit it, but I’ve only just come across the LOMO camera. I vaguely recall these ingenious devices experiencing a resurgence a few years back, but I hadn’t realised the following they’d garnered.

Lomographic pictures are described by The Lomographic Society (see what I mean about a following) as “moment-catchers; characterized by vibrant colours, shadowy framing, surprise effects and spontaneity”.’

The Lomographic Society boasts over 1 million members who get out and about snapping with everything from ‘fisheye’ cameras to the new Spinner 360˚ – which captures ‘unlimited panoramas’.

Essentially, these lo-tech cameras can create sometimes-blurred, sometimes overexposed and colourful images on 35mm film.  The result is never the same and the process is extremely analogue (does it worry anyone else that the next generation probably won’t even know what ‘analogue’ means?).

Starting with the Lomo LC-A – a Russian-made film camera – Lomography (the company who now sells the Lomo cameras), has since added a range of cameras and quirky accessories to help “document the incredible planet around us”.

In an age of digital photography, this is a counter-revolution we could get used to.
