Lomography

I have to admit that when travelling I take usually 4 or 5 cameras. I choose them depending what I want to photograph. At first, I used to put them on my shoulder bag, but the main problem is that they can be damaged, or is quite difficult to take the camera you are looking for. On the other side, the classic Lomo bag allows you only two small cameras...

Tan pronto me enteré "que estábamos embarazados" pensé que tenía que hacer algo especial para ella... para ellas! ¿Un anillo de diamantes? ¡Nooo! Algo más especial. ¿Qué tal unas fotos? Podría estar bien. ¿Un video? ¡Mucho mejor!

Why not hacking the furniture? Why hiding the cameras when they are so pretty? My home is full of things with different use they were thought, that's recycling! And of course, a home of a Lomographer must show, even in a subtle way, what his addictions are.

As soon I knew my wife was pregnant I thought I had to do something special for her... for them! A diamond ring? Nooo! Something more special. What about taking pictures? Could be nice. A video? Much better!

Sometimes the best results are stumbled upon by accident that is synonymous with the words "chance" and "luck". Unless you have an open mind, you wouldn't really able to see what's in there waiting to be discovered. Check out this experiment from minicooper:

A jewel in the drugstore: Nice slides and cool for x-processing, available in some drugstores and it's cheap. What else do you need?

Pros: it is sexy! Cons: it may scratch your glasses... :-( The first time a FED-1 is in your hands you only can say: “Wow!”. It’s heavy, is cool, is nice, is perfect…

There are lots of cities with green parks in the center, but there is no one like Vigeland’s Park. What makes it special is that is full of sculptures of children, women, men and elder: that’s life.

The Beatles put Liverpool on the map. 40 years later you can follow their trace. The Cavern is the well-known pub where they show their talent to the audience.

Arne Jacobsen did some buildings in Denmark, and especially in Copenhagen: SAS Royal Hotel, Danish National Bank... But my favorite area is Bellevue.

There are many reasons to visit the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen:

Once in Tokyo take the train towards Kamakura. Stop at the Kita-Kamakura station. The walk from North Kamakura to the city center is full of amazing temples where you can take a rest. Once in the center, take the train towards the coast and stop at Hase station. There you'll find the temple with the great Buda. This is a very spiritual stroll.

Erik Gunnar Asplund (1885 –1940) is my favorite Swedish architect. I've seen some of his works, but I have to admit that when I stepped inside the Extension of the Göteborg Courthouse (1917-37), my heart almost stopped! It is still working as courthouse, and if you ask for taking pictures there is no problem.

I could write a lot about pizzas in La Bersagliera, but if you look at the pictures you will understand it. They are absolutely A W E S O M E. They are hot and spicy, what makes the pizza delicious. Pizzas are made in Calabrese style. Once you taste them, you cannot forgot them. A big hot spicy pizza and a beer for less than 12 €. What else can you need?

Maybe that restaurant is the coolest I ever been. You have to walk through a long long wood gateway (Långa bryggan) over the quiet sea of Öresund. At the end you will find a very small restaurant, where you could eat the finest smoked salmon, and a sauna: one for women, one for men. If your are brave enough, after spending some time in the hot room, you can have a bath!

Did you play with Playmobil when you were younger? Have you ever pictured yourself inside the pirate ship or defending the medieval castle?

Duke is my favorite street in Liverpool, but I have to admit it wasn't a love at first sight. There aren't the same fashion shops you could find anywhere and no cool places published in magazines, and nowadays it's hard to find.

Thrills up and down my spine. This was what I experimented when I was walking across the streets of Weißenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart. Directed by Mies van der Rohe, 17 architects created a neighborhood in 1927 just to show what the “New Architecture” would be. There you can see from a detached house to an apartment block.

Coney Island is the world's center of Freak Show, the paradise for Lomoaddicts. If you really want to go to the past, with no need of using time machines, is as easy as taking the D, F, N or Q trains from Manhattan to Coney Island. During the journey, at least one hour long, you can even sightseeing Brooklyn.

The first impression when you are in Naples is 'dirt', 'chaos', 'disorder'. As you get used to it, you start enjoying the city. If you are brave enough to drive, you will probably notice that the traffic chaos is in fact a super-efficient way of moving along the city. You do not have to panic when are completely surrounded by Vespas or when in a two lane street there are three rows of car (or even more!).
