Lomo Action Sampler Trash Diary Rainer Strzolka

Art or film waste?Anyone traveling with a lomographic camera can see better how colorful life can actually be, if you do not look too closely. Lomography is a phenomenon in its absurdity of action. She can be addictive, she can leave you cold. In any case, it is a piece of freedom against the illusion of digitalisation in photography that has turned a camera into a computer that accidentally takes pictures. The examination of lomographic images makes one dizzy. And happy. Hamburg is a true playground for the Lomographer. The city is gray, ugly, the people there are in a bad mood, the drivers drive like the last idiots. Lomography gives this juggernaut a sense of blase. The city, where even the vegetables look cheerless, gets a little color. People who are seen side by side several times add their residual happiness in a strange way. Trains that are photographed with a lomographic camera, you can see that they are preparing to leave the city. Hamburg: you want to get away from there instead of going there.
