What exactly is lomography?
Federal Garden Show 2011 - Koblenz transformed
Hi Thomas, it all sounds like a very exciting project. I've googled a little bit, but maybe you explain again briefly for those who have never heard of it, what Lomography is really?

Dear Buga,
thank you for the first time for patient's waiting my answer. I hope you're not yet gone?
But now I make time for you before I am back in the more "artistic" part of my project "Eastern Buga, walllah!" must deal with an application for funding.
Currently, there is still a "zero budget" - and polar circle-18 ("Alone, alone") project, but I hope, will that change soon, because it takes hold just all too long according to the planning phase.
Another site, but you're already accustomed to it?
But now you and your question, what is actually Lomography?
I think the approach you've already given yourself. Who cares who finds it easy out for yourself what can be Lomography for him. You have used a search engine on my weblog you can on the Links bar on the right side also find quite a bit of information.
Do not get me wrong please, but who do not yet know Lomography and then the consumer-oriented expectation to have explained everything to be just that lomography is what I tell him more but then maybe not.
I Will such people in my project? A resounding "No".
Will actively participate in my project? Probably not.
For, "I declare now common for all times, as you are individually and spontaneously, and then we try that once and then practically all are of course equally terrible individual and spontaneous" does not. That you can forget.
Right after my first blog post and the link to it at Lomo-Germany in Facebook you might have on my Facebook Wall sit and watch how the fish-eye images have increased dramatically over the next few days.
like that being a coincidence, but you'd be surprised how many "normal" photographers simply can not be creative and not think of anything to which his own ideas, except one, other photographers, "ape" to copy images or nachzuknipsen. The three most accurate putting itself even before you, the others behind you when it clicks and no picture at all you've done, or they are just on your body and try to make your eyes when you leave.
Back to the topic, I it would simply not already narrowed too far, so creativity is possible and really interested people participate with their own ideas, because I can only help develop new ways of seeing for myself.
Do not worry, I know what I want and this could also implement at least parts alone. Limiting factor remains the same time I can spend it alone.
Lomography will become clearer once I have made the first pictures of himself and created the locations, because then you see just a concrete, it will look like. has
A "friendly" designer I already made that proposal, unfortunately, I sit still the concept, for without it's just not true.
I do not have patrons from the cultural field, no budget, no project funding, no team. Lomo itself as an equipment supplier is still pending, the entire workflow of the idea over shooting (film), the post-production (scan, ...) to the final location on the Lomo Wall or
Lomo Map is to be defined and I myself have hardly the equipment that I need for all my own project.
"Sure, golden autumn, make it a just a few pictures.
Sure, but just read my e-mails, blog posts, gain complete "Who knows-who" group (Eigenverantwortlich!), because for that I have absolutely no time to discuss my ideas with me through, give me feedback and ideas, tell me what is good and what is not, I get money, sponsors, equipment, because I feel about "American Buga , wallah! "merchandising, make phone calls for me, talk to the media, do public relations, ...
... , Because then I disappear sometimes flat and snap some pictures.
Exactly that is what I really want to do, which I unfortunately did not get far.
Bla, bla bla ...
Nothing would nevertheless I take something with you, dear BUGA2011.
For your request Lomography for all who know it so far impossible to explain, I would prefer to make their own little project with you.
"Little People", just the children, are in fact actually the "born" Lomographers, the most natural, you can imagine.
The child's curiosity, just try to think big and not to listen, follow rules, or to waste a single thought in mind that they have only 24/36 pictures, and cost of each picture there is still money, will have this unique ability only children (4-6 years) automatically.
something that a creative photographer then work again only with difficulty must, for example, Lomo cameras, after it was his "habit" with the enrollment in primary school until graduation, as a rule, be creative, rules deliberately not meet to plan for accidents to determine spontaneous, ...
Yes, I would like to propose a project you how to be with children can bring to the Lomography Buga. Whether it's possible, I can not say yet, because the problems to be solved were not significant.
first
If the core areas of Buga, seen press law, "public spaces"?
If you have a bow right house, it would be for me with you no problem for my other "Lomo-goes-Buga
2011" sub-projects will not.
That would give me a certain security in terms of work and contracts and for financial security would also not entirely wrong, so you can get free the mind for creative things.
second Taking pictures of / with children
actually impossible under 16, unless you as the bow are the organizers and the parents, agents, parents, guardians, teachers sign to register corresponding waiver of liability, and contracts for use of image (right) of images to their children show, or were created by them. Otherwise, the legal unters almost inevitable and this risk kannnst only you as a photographer decrease effective organizer.
third Patron (s)
can with the right name, it is totally different, "negotiate" with contractors, sponsors, suppliers, etc.
4th Sponsors, funders, funding
Lomo cameras are not really toys. Viewed Priced's starts at 40-80 € for a camera, the accessories will cost extra, this is the special Lomo film, developing, prints, scans ... In other words, it is an expensive business.
Even if Lomo would go as a sponsor, it would be a cost issue if you really Cameras and Equipment zusammenbekäme in group and / or class size for 5 months. Even for "Lend-actions" by the day, loss, loss, defects, ... or bow-walks, photo tours across the area, events, etc. Actions would be to resolve the issue.
5th "To see their children Buga" - could be a working title of the Children's Lomo project.
6th As you yourself have planned for children on the bow, I myself not even considered, but except
- "Lucy and Leone" by Bine Voigt from Mosel white, and
- "Emily Family" by Sonja Roos on Saturday in the Rhine- Newspaper
I know nothing directly to children via Koblenz.
The "summation" Bee I do not really like the lyrics are often written to me, even for children to 'childishly naïve. " Since
would definitely still room for child-oriented pictures and texts of Buga and together with other children for short people.
If it is good, it could be a bow-Lomo Wall make it, a Lomo Location Map "Koblenz", or even a real "Kids with Cameras" wind project with its own book as print-on-demand "book" (blurb.com) as a result, images
of the day, week, month, ...
The biggest problem I see in the time delay of the analog films during subsequent processing.
Even small children know already that one direktnach the snapping back on it can see the image.
The child's impatience would be the biggest stumbling block among the young, to be enthusiastic about something. As one would have to fully argue about the exciting, unique, perhaps unexpected random image result.
What age group it would be most appropriate, one would have to be clarified. Probably, unfortunately, just not the youngest.
7th As a "team" could be determined by one or other teacher training student inspired by the university, if one omits the educational-Pädag stuff. Just young people the good with children and can have fun at something.
Only real ambitious parents or "I can shoot better than you, with my big expensive camera Protz 'fathers.
8th As an emergency backup you would need probably a couple of friends with children who can step in as "models" when just what takes place and no bow-children are on site, including the "Try it" and an inspiration. Blessed is he who in such cases 24x7 own children.
So I can not, unfortunately, serve, and that is also now make no appeal to all single mothers, ran to me.
For I'll be there hardly Have time for any relationship life during derBuga if the project should really get up and running. ;-)
9th Yes, and you would have to bow contacts and relations with schools and such use to the first time find out if it even in principle, would be interested in something like Lomography with children and youth at the Federal Garden Show 2011, before the just outlined effort at all operates.
What was the question again?
Perhaps Lomography explain it for a minute? "For the little people"?
