Description
part of the photo shoot with the sonar yen .very ad-hoc, impromptu part of the shoot, just walking around back streets of manchester, and putting one of my crappy lomo lc-a's to good use...this particular one seems to have a lovely light leak somewhere, which positively adds to the "indy" feel i was going for with the band...

Wonderful shot, breaking some rules here and there helps to remind me of the indy feel...
Washed out tones and very soft contrast give it such a good style especially for a band shoot. You deserve some justice from the Portrait Police, let me tell ya!
Small words from a big fan...

i love the spontaneous results from lomo!
you've cross processed the film too?
the colors are awesome!

heh...i replied to another comment on this by mistake, but let me reiterate:
interestingly enough, i didn't cross process...i think the weird colour shifting into the greens/blues (most prominent on this particular shot, less so in the others from the same roll) came just from the light leek...not sure. a happy accident, i think

oops...wrong reply
to answer YOUR question: lomos are, in my opinion, quite overrated. i got two off ebay, and both broke almost immediately (the film speed setting knob got stuck on one, and is free-wheeling on the other one...need to open both up and see if i can repair them).
don't believe all the marketing hype around lomo. in hindsight, i should have spent my time more productively and got myself a crappy toy camera such as the DIANA (see [link] for details, for instance).
oh, and if you must get a lomo, definitely look on ebay or similar...as the new "official" lomos you can buy are completely overpriced.
