• ★ Little Drawings on Film Burned Photos

  
  At the beginning of every roll, you take that first test shot to make sure that the film is properly fed into the camera. Most of the time, the first frame turns out to be overexposed nothingness. Sometimes, it's a significantly light burned photo that leaves you thinking of "what might have been."

• How to Repair the Rubberised Curtains of a Shutter

  
  A simple way to repair the holes (more or less deep) in the rubberised curtains of a shutter. Often these holes are located on the second curtain, that is rolled up when the shutter is not cocked, causing annoying light leaks. With a little patience it is possible to repair it, reviving cameras otherwise destined only to be shown in a cabinet.

• A Glimpse of My Fisheye World on Canvass

  
  I have a good idea on how to give colour to my boring room. It is by making artworks. I am onto my second piece when I thought of transforming my Lomographic photo into another form of art, a painting. I wanted to incorporate my love for lomography into other things as well.

• The Vivitar IC 101: Very Wide But Not So Slim

  
  The Vivitar IC 101 is a very, very cheap camera with a wide lens. Mine was panoramic until I got the knife out. Once modified it distorts but surprisingly doesn't vignette.

• Let the Light Seep Through in Lomography

  
  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!

• Experiencing Smena 8M: Never Gets Old

  
  I'm new to Lomography and I've been using the Smena 8M. I want others to know why I feel this camera is worthwhile. Don't think just shoot is not easy to apply to this kind of camera as it is very experimental. Just like doing an experiment when you got the variables to alter and adjust.

• Love at First Lomo: Holga 120 N

  
  Although I can't remember how I came to know about the Holga, I know that I instantly wanted one. In a short time I was ready to dive into all things Holga. It wasn't exactly love at first sight, but after my second roll of film...there was no going back.

• Ricoh 500GX: A Light Leaks Machine

  
  This is the first in a series of articles on different analog cameras that I'm testing these days. It's not a exhaustive technical analysis, but rather a list of technical characteristics of each camera and my personal opinion after using it with only one film each. Hope this helps to know a little more these cameras.
