GOLDEN RULES OF LOMOGRAPHY
- Take your camera everywhere you go
- Use it any time- day & night
- Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it
- try the shot from the hip
- approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible
- Don't think (William Firebrace)
- Be fast
- You don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film
- Nor afterwards
- Don't worry about any rules
