I’ve been on the site for a year now. It’s time for a stock take. The biggest benefit I’ve found is learning about different film types. Whenever I see photos that I like, I want to know what film has been used. It’s not the only factor. Subject matter, composition, and technique are more important, but choosing a different film is the easiest fix you can make.
This year I’ve posted nearly 1000 photos and got 20,000 likes. I curate my photos before posting. Not every photo you take can be a masterpiece. There’s no point in posting a photo you don’t even like yourself.
The Lomography site is amazing. It’s so quick and responsive. It keeps fresh and interesting on a daily basis. Then there’s the magazine: it’s a constant source of information and inspiration. So - a big thankyou to Lomography and all the wonderful photographers who make the site so interesting. Here’s to a (film) photo filled 2022.
