• Black Lips: when Bad Kids become LomoAmigos

  
  The Black Lips are one of the coolest garage rock bands around: often outrageous and provocative, these four guys from Atlanta have become popular thanks to their hit "Bad Kids", which was also featured in the soundtrack of the movie 500 Days of Summer. We met them at their gig in Brescia, Italy, where we collected the films they shot during their Italian tour. Jared Swilley, bass and vocals, also answered a couple of questions for us. Enjoy!

• Urban Deserts in Como, Italy

  
  Urban deserts are terrible, sometimes worse than the real desert. One feels a sense of anger, frustration, and helplessness while he is seeing some environmental disaster, while he is passing near closed factories and abandoned buildings, walking around closed and impenetrable places that were once a source of social life. The camera is an excellent tool for raising awareness. Here I propose a few places in my city, hoping for a change.

• Basking at the Beach: Playing at the World Championships of Beach Ultimate

  
  You spend your holidays at the beach? Enjoy and bathe in the sun and then refresh yourself in the water? Well, that´s what most people do on the beach. Not me.

Last year in August I played at the World Championships of Beach Ultimate in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy. Read on how hard it is to run in the sun when everyone else on the beach is looking for shadow.

• Awesome Pizza at Pizzeria Aurora

  
  Pizza is one of my favorite foods. Freshly-made traditional Italian pizza is even better. I only had one when visiting Sorrento in Italy but I might very well have picked the best!

• Seeing through Black and White: A Timeless Sport

  
  The athletics is truly a timeless sport. The movements of the race, the throws and the jumps have changed very little during more than a century of history of this sport. That's why the black and white is very suitable for documenting this kind of event!

• The Dominant Brown Shades of Esselunga Films

  
  Until last year, a chain of supermarkets were selling the Esselunga films (in 100, 200, and 400 ISO). I do not know if these films were actually produced by Ferrania with another name, as is often said. Probably yes, but I'm not 100% sure of this. The behavior of these films is interesting, especially if you use Russian and former East Germany (Helios, Pentacon) lenses, because in this case, your photos are characterized by a dominant brown / amber that is very pleasant. Take a look after the jump!

• Lost and Found: Family Snapshots with a Stolen Agfa Optima IIS Camera

  
  In the '60s, my parents bought an Agfa Optima IIS, a fully-automatic 35mm camera. With this camera, they have made many photos of our family. Until in the '70s, when the camera was stolen. Recently, I found an identical camera on eBay, still working perfectly, and I immediately I bought it!

• Rome: the Eternal City in Monochrome

• The Non-Lomographic Use of My Lomo LC-A

  
  The last of the Ten Golden Rules of the Lomography says: "Don't worry about any rules." So, I use my old Lomo LC-A, which I owned from the beginning of the 90s, in a traditional way, not the "lomographic" way. Always think about the composition before taking a picture!
