The art of photography always had several forms to express itself and in each time there’s always a trend in photography, in the recent years a trend named lomography remembering the name of a Russian’s photo cameras manufacter, the Lomo.
The lomography is the use of those cameras and others regarding those times of photography, because the cameras had a few flaws in the conception and structure, the final results are sometimes more saturated and blur. Additional to Lomo cameras the lomographer’s “added” Diana and Holga cameras to the lomographic cameras portfolio which produces a “burned” picture since they have some flaws on the body of the camera, letting the light enter inside of the film.
The result is a beautiful composition, full of color and somehow remembering the old times, so that’s an easy point to keep this cameras alive.

The Polaroid
Another photography trend that almost died was Polaroid, the unique photos taken immediatly and a few moments later available for enjoy died last year, by decision of Polaroid, however a few enthusiasts, buy the manufacture equipment and space at Holand and are trying to produce a new Polaroid film.
The idea is let the enthusiast of this technique continue take quick beautiful pictures of the moment, in fact, when the Kodak invented the slogan Kodak moment, it should apply to Polaroid, since that Polaroid is taken and seen at almost the same instant.
So, The Impossible Project, is reviving Polaroid again, they expected to launch the first new “Polaroid” film in 2010, a Black and White film and probably in the same year or in 2011, the color film. Right now the only thing you can do, as enthusiastic Polaroid photographer is to support the project, buying some t-shirts and manisfest yourself at http://www.savepolaroid.com/ a website of fans of this amazing camera and film.
If you have a Polaroid camera and whant to buy some film, the most probably scenario is, you couldn”t find any, so you can check at eBay or instead yo could check and buy the last stocks of Polaroid film at Polapremium.
Here are some Polaroid pictures:
