Week #9: 3/28/12 A4 Critique


"Cartier-Bresson has said that photography seizes a 'decisive moment', that's true except that it shouldn't be taken too narrowly...does my picture of a cobweb in the rain represent a decisive moment? The exposure time was probably three or four minutes. That's a pretty long moment. I would say the decisive moment in that case was the moment in which I saw this thing and decided I wanted to photograph it". - Paul Strand

"Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible." - Edwin Land

Lomography is typically characterized by low quality pictures and odd lighting effects and other imperfections not normally seen in traditional photography. Its also usually a spontaneous style of photography. All this is what gives lomography its unique look and feel.

Brief history
the original Lomography cameras were russian made and were first produced in 1984, this being the LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera becoming the companies LOMO main activity. The company Holga make a 120mm toy camera in China which has a similar effect of low fidelity.
