Shooting from and by the hip: Lomography finds a toehold on the Mall (Washington Post)
It’s a curious way to capture Washington’s monuments — shooting from the hip
on 120-millimeter film with the kind of rudimentary camera that used to be
sold for a few dollars.
But the lomography movement — nurtured in European and Asian capitals since
the International Lomographic Society was formed in Vienna in 1992 — has
established a toehold here on the Mall, where a small number of practitioners
choose pinhole Polaroids and Dianas over digital cameras and smartphones to
create shots of the nation’s capital. Among them one recent Saturday were
Christian Meade, 25, an art handler and assistant in an antiques gallery in
Alexandria; Alexis Lodsun, 19, of Arlington, a sophomore photography student
at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia; and Brian Mishoe, 42, of
Frederick, who works in the marketing department at George Washington
University.
