Some may hate it and think of it as an awful mistake. A miserable effect brought by some bad move in analogue photography. While others, hail it and accept it as part of this mysterious challenge we call Lomography!
What could this be? What is this thing we could love and hate at the same time? Well, there are a lot of technicalities to consider but this one is for the keeps!
Light leaks, my friends! That splash of light in your Lomographs from an unexpected source that could either make or break your Lomograph! But here’s the thing, we at the Community love the unexpected!
That’s why this week, we’re bringing you not 50, not 60, but 65 stunning Lomographs in our Community with amazing light leaks! Don’t we just love them — we can’t get enough of them!
Community LomoAmigo Opal Shoots in Monochrome with His LomoKino It is natural to choose black and white especially when you hail Charlie Chaplin as your dream person to film. It takes you back to a lovely nostalgia, one that requires a lot of imagination with a pinch of emotion!
An Analogue Trip Around the World Aside from taking portraits, mundane moments, and cats just to name a few, we can't deny that we Lomographers are also jet-setters, ready to see the world in an instant!
Community LomoAmigo Cass Brings Nostalgia with Her LomoKino "The movie strings along like a nostalgic memory trance," she thought upon watching her LomoKino movie. A deep meaning it may be but it is definitely appropriate with the amazing and inexplicable results our glorious analogue movie maker brings.

Wonderful gallery, as usual! Heart-shaped light leaks: http://www.lomograph(…)os/14724805 and http://www.lomograph(…)os/14724811 When I went to pick up this roll at the lab (not my regular lab), the woman proudly told me she printed some of the photos in sepia in order to make the light leaks disappear... These have survived! I haven't had a chance to re print them yet but I was really annoyed at the time.

LomoGuru of the Week: Earlybird His trademark black and white portraits have become very popular in our Community. His username rings a loud bell, too. Well, I guess it's just time for us to publish an interview with this guy from Germany!
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.
Introducing My Talented Friend, The Amazing Molla Mills! If you are interested in creative people, then you should pay attention to this article.

From Metal Bands logos to the most exciting jewelry, Molla is always full of surprises!
