What the hell is a LomoLocation?
A LomoLocation is a place of Lomographic interest, a location Lomographers should visit to take Lomographs, meet people and enjoy local (sub)culture. But also an online feature where we enable people to see pictures from unique places, read about the personal stories that were added to them and and understand the world a little better.
Possible LomoLocations:
- A place that just looks great to the eye of a Lomographer
- Cultural places and events
- Places and events of political or social interest
- Places of natural and environmental interest
Take a look at “Lomography nearby”, here you’ll see a selection of unique LomoLocations in Cologne, all made by enthusiastic local Lomographers. Use it for inspiration to suggest your own location.
