Go wild with your imagination – not only can you peel your eyes for dragon symbols all around you, but what do dragons represent? Dragon lady? Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Dragonball?! Let’s see how creative we can get!

    This is going to be harder in America. Dragons are not really part of the culture here. Maybe I can find someone with a cool tattoo.

    8 means fortune. I live in Taiwan and have a Taiwanese wife, she told me. Think 7 is the universal lucky number.

    @chappelow yeah, because the number 8 in Chinese dialect sounds like the word 'prosper'! :)

Capture The Moment Competition: 15th May 2013 15:15:15 CET

Capture The Moment Competition: 15th May 2013 15:15:15 CET The essence of photography is about capturing those special moments, those instants where time stands still and an image is perfectly framed in front of your eyes. As Lomographers, we are especially in tune with these unique times in life. We love to forget the rules, ditch the viewfinder and snap those special times as they flash before our eyes. Well for this rumble, that’s exactly what we are you to do. In the month of May, we have picked 3 exact moments where we want Lomographers around the world to stop and take an analogue photo! And of course, we have some awesome prizes on offer for the best entries!

The Meopta Stereo 35 aka The View-Master Camera

The Meopta Stereo 35 aka The View-Master Camera In my junior year of college, I had a crazy idea for a project for my directed study class. I wanted to create my own view-master reels, and to my surprise a view-master camera not only existed, but was available for purchase. Everything about this camera was a difficult trial and error challenge, but the end results are a one of a kind gem.
