• ★ 166+ Series #06: Philosophy (Part 2)

  
  Let’s start from the basics. Why is medium format so attractive? There are many reasons, but with the Lubitel 166+ it DOES make sense to use the 120 film, in order to gain so much more quality, because of the wider area of film in which the image is impressed.

• 166+ Series #05: Philosophy (Part 1)

  
  "Don't think, just shoot!" This is one of the 10 Golden Rules of Lomography. It's quite difficult to "respect" this rule with the Lubitel 166+, because you have to think a lot before pressing the shutter lever. The last of the 10 Golden Rules says "Don't worry about any rules," so let’s celebrate the SLOWNESS of the Lubitel 166+ shooting philosophy.

  After shooting countless frames, winding countless rolls, framing countless images, once can't help but wonder on the rationale for sticking with something so yesterday, a technology so obsolete. On a personal level, it's not because its hip or cool, but rather because of the welcome detachment from the norm and its accompanying sense of wonder.

• My Lomography Philosophy

  
  Lomography is much more than just photography. It is true art. In contrast to the digital or realistic images it is capable of capturing the true essence of the moment. In addition, it teaches us to live in the moment. It's a state of mind, a way of living, and a philosophy.

• Lomography For Me

  
  Reflecting upon theory of photography and theory of art in general I came to the conclusion that I define art as follows: "ART IS SOMETHING THAT PLUNGES INTO RATIONAL CONFUSION." If while watching, addressing an object I feel rational confusion, it as art, if not – it is something else.
