1991: A group of Austrian students "discover" the LOMO LC-A in Prague, Czechoslovakia and so their passion for relentless shooting with it begins.

Prague in May 1991. A handful of Viennese students wander though the capital taking in the newfound Czech democracy. By this time, the LC-A's days in the sun were coming to a close. Weakened by flashy imports from Asia, the LC-A was out of production and available only at quirky, old-school camera shops. It was at an establishment such as this, where the Viennese students happened upon the adorable Lomo LC-A, and bought a couple for fun. On the resplendent streets of Prague, they zipped through the first few rolls of film: shooting from the hip, through their legs and even sometimes looking through the viewfinder.
