City,
This
is a ticketed event, to book tickets go to the Book Now link on

Price = £8
Following
the 10 golden rules of Lomography, lomographers shoot as many impossible
pictures as possible in the most impossible of situations from the
most impossible of positions: lomographs. Using LC-A's, a cheap
plastic communist camera producing bright, colour saturated images
and allowing the use of manual blurring techniques and double exposures,
lomographers put together their images to make up Lomowalls, vast
walls of lomographs with tens of thousands of images shot by what
are often hundreds of individual lomographers. This is an exciting
event you cannot afford to miss out on!
