Lomography allows photographers to move from one end of the spectrum to the other…from digital precision to less focused spontaneity. And it’s giving everyone who likes to take pictures a chance to go back to the basics.
There’s a lomographic event in LA tomorrow. Michelle McIlroy is regional manager for the Lomography Gallery Store in West Hollywood. She talks to KPCC's Steve Julian about the event and what lomography is all about.
