LomoGuru of the Week: Arurin
written by fookshit on 2012-10-28
Analogue photography is never an easy one, there’s a lot of love and hate involved in it plus there's an inevitable push and pull between skill and imagination. Sounds tough, eh? But just like Arurin said – all you have to do is to have faith and everything will be snapped into your camera, all in the right time and in the right place!

written by fookshit on 2012-10-14

written by fookshit on 2012-07-29
Initially, he was blown away by how much of a creative force there is to be found in the Lomographic Community and on the other hand, is quite intrigued at how one can sustain to live a sincere analogue life in at this current age. Regardless of this, he considers himself as one of those people who believe that there is a future with analogue!

LomoGuru of the Week: moodification
written by fookshit on 2012-07-22
He really knows nothing about Lomography ever since he started to learn to take photographs with a digital camera. Not until two years ago when he discovered the art of taking the shot from the hip and the whole culture that surrounds it – he finally found home, and this is where his analogue heart resides currently and no plans of moving out, so far!
