Lomolitos - A rainbow of single use LOMO cameras
By James Grahame
Lomolitos are "disposable" LOMO cameras, designed to snap a mere 24 frames of 35mm before being handed off to a developer for destruction and processing. The magical look of LOMO photography stems from the use of a rather dodgy plastic lens combined with a vividly colored flash filter (available in yellow, blue, red or green). I'm surprised no one has released a digilomo yet.
I'm not wild about the idea of tossing a camera after shooting a single short
roll of film. Apparently the company agrees with me, since they provide instructions for busting it open to reload. I can't help thinking these would make excellent cameras for capturing a wedding -- if you don't mind capturing guests in hideously artistic shades of yellow and blue.
