Adventures in Lomography

I've been getting more into photography recently so I started looking at some fun ways of taking pictures without getting into the expensive realm of digital SLRs. First I looked at Polaroid cameras - although Polaroid have stopped making instant film (I think they'll be back!) Fuji still make cameras and 'Instax' film. This is how I came across the PoGo printer. Its a tiny device that prints wallet sized stickers straight from your digital camera or phone! (its been out for a while but it has come down in price a lot recently.)

Then I began looking at film cameras. I was charmed by Lomo photographs I saw on people's blogs and on Flickr. Lomography uses cheap old Russian film cameras (or reproductions of them) to make images which are creative and experimental.

I now have a Smena Symbol (in the picture). I loaded it up with some colour film and went out to take some pictures around where I live and work. I'm really pleased with how they came out:
