Welcome to the New Lomography.com!
Hurray! The new Lomography.com is here! With a fresh design the mission remains – the largest, most complete, fun and interactive online home for analogue lovers from all walks of life!
Have you been here before? You will most probably remember that just a little while ago we had another website – unique in itself but a little out of date we felt we had to change it. Are you new to this site? We will try to make to explain everything as good as we possibly can. (You might want to read up about us in our about section)We hope that you like what you see! But what is really new here? And where on earth has the old site gone? We try to answer all your questions here.
The Grand Migration!
Did you have a LomoHome with us on the old site? Are you wondering where all your wonderful Lomos are? Don’t worry, since last week we are migrating all the photos from the old site to the new one. Please bear in mind that with nearly 5 million photos it takes some time! Once your photos have migrated you will receive a message in your guestbook!
The migration is done in reverse starting with the first home to activate their home on the new site all the way to the last one. But don’t worry, sooner or later it is your turn!
For a short while still you can access the old site at old.lomography.com
Features Missing
To those of you that have been visiting the site regularly you might of noticed that some functions are missing from the page. Over the coming months they will all slowly pop up on the new site!
Piggies – A new notification system is being developed. With it you will be able to check how many Piggies you have and when they expire.
Awards – Coming soon! You will soon be able to see all the awards that you have won in your homes! How great is that?
Email notifications – As soon as someone writes something to you, you will get an email notification! You will never miss a message ever again!
Customization – Most of you liked how it was possible to customize your old homes! We could not agree more – and as soon as our new features are done we will start working on this option. Soon you will all be able to design and redesign your home day in and day out!
Magazine – We will soon start rolling out more new exciting sections to our online magazine!
Local sites – This site will soon be translated in a number of languages!
Oktokino – We know that you loved this site – and we did as well. As soon as a new design is made we will relaunch this section on our page!
