For July’s Word of the Month, we’re going to be a bit vague. Everything will be uncertain and at times uncertain. Why is that you ask? That’s because the word we’re looking for is ambiguous. Just how abstract can it get right? Put your thinking caps on and show us your best interpretation!
Ambiguous: open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations

I'd just like to explain why I chose the photo I did. See, I remember what idea I was trying to convey when I took it, but due to a lack of proximity (and foresight, I suppose,) I was left with a photo whose subject and theme aren't very clear.
I definitely do see the ambiguity in the example image--due to the inversion of the frame, it almost makes it makes it hard to distinguish whether those light fixtures are lamps that hang or stand. I like it. :]
@vnyand: Well, I guess that makes it pretty open to interpretation, don't you think? I guess even THAT could be the ambiguity!
I feel the need to explain my submission, hahaha: The reason I chose this shot is because it she looks human from the nose up, yet below her nose it looks like a skull.
Last month, we invited our community to design a new outfit for the instant camera. Check out their amazing creations, and get to know the artists behind the designs in this article.
His YouTube Channel "In An Instant" only started out a year ago but instantly made Ben Fraternale one of the go-to instant photography consultants. Needless to say, when he asked to try our LomoGraflok, we were flattered and excited to see what he thinks about it. Check out Ben's first Impressions.
You're most likely to discover random photos and other miscellaneous objects during Spring cleaning. You might still find them useful for making analogue projects, so don't be in a rush to toss them out. Here, we bring you a few ideas if you're in a productive mood!
If you missed out the first time, now is your chance. The Petzval 55 mm f/1.9 MKII is back in stock in all mounts and designs! Preorder yours now and get it in June 2020!
Simon Gerlinger is a photography student at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Dortmund. Here he tells us about analogue photography, how it can be used to look behind the scenes. He also talks about his latest project "See you soon, or Sometime".
Based on the West Coast, Zachary Sabac has mostly been shooting color film with a higher ISO, so trying out the Fantôme Kino ISO 8 was an exciting adventure that opened new doors of possibilities. Check out his video reviewing our latest black and white film!
Emma Swann's career as a music photographer and founder of the DIY magazine has taken her to the far corners of the world, from a muddy field at Glastonbury Festival to SXSW in Austin, Texas. She is an avid film shooter too, so we sent her some Fantôme Kino B&W ISO 8 film to test out.
In an effort to provide a way of connecting with all the photographers out there, professional and amateurs, Image Salon a Montreal based studio, is organizing a virtual photography conference, where 100 percent of the donations will be distributed to Global Giving.
Her first double exposure was a mistake, but for Palestinian photographer Dina Salem, it enabled her to enter a world of multiple exposures and infinite compositions. Currently based out of Abu Dhabi, she considers herself to be rooted everywhere and anywhere in the world, finding inspiration in her everyday surroundings. With some Lomography CN 100, she achieved some beautiful multiple exposures, straight out of another dimension.
Who's up for some bike shots featuring the Petzval 58? We know we are. Check out this rad gallery courtesy of Trevor Yale Ryan as he captured the scene at One Moto show with the Petzval 58.
BYOF – Bring your own film, is a project started by three film lovers across the US.
