Hooray for the Holidays! Don’t you just wish it lasted for a little longer? Well, why don’t you join us as we celebrate a Lomographic Christmas, Russian-style! As you know, the Lomography community traces its roots from Russia – the majestic place where our beloved Lomo LC-A was created. The Russians celebrate the season on the 6th January, so that means we’ll be extending the Holiday festivities both in the Lomography Stores and online until 6th January 2009! Expect lots of exciting activities in store for you!

Russian Winter Online Special

Here’s a lowdown on some of the happenings coming at you!

Show Us That Russian Hat Rumble

Put on your Russian hats and show us some pictures! You can get these hats from all sorts of mysterious sources – grannies, flea markets, off the back of truck! The top ten hat pics gets 10 snazzy piggy points to spend on shop.lomography.com.

You can also join the party and add your own Russian-esque Locations.

Snap Up Some Russian Classics

For the ultimate Russian analogue experience, how about giving the Lubitel 166+ and the LC-A+ a try? Both cameras are faithful recreations of the Russian classics, enhanced with new features for more creative possibilities; the Lubitel 166+ has the ability to take sharp 120 AND 35mm images, while the LC-A+ packs a punch with its’ special features.

For a limited time, when you buy the LC-A+, the 664 page, 4 kg LC-A Big Book comes free! (See shop to see whether you apply for free shipping too!).
