A little bit about my topic and why I chose it: > The history that started Lomography began way back early in the 1990's. Thanks to two students in Vienna, Australia, who stumbled upon the Lomo-Kompact Automat. According to the website, www.lomography.com, //"lomography"// is defined as:

>> //"...igniting a new style of artistic experimental photography.."// > > In other words, it just means that it's an effect on a photo you take which gives it more detail or adds a better look. It makes the simple photo look twice as better. > > I usually see Lomography when photos from special events/occasions or dance parties are posted up on the internet once they're edited. I can find them on websites like Facebook.com or Twitter.com. I can also find them on other websites such as Tumblr.com or Flickr.com(These are specifically for photographers and lomographers.) Lomography is pretty simple, all I have to do is get the lomo camera and follow these simple rules: Take the camera everywhere i go, use it at anytime(day and night), Lomography is not an interference to my life(just part of it), try the shot from the hip, approach the objects of my lomographic desire as close as possible, don't think, and be fast! Like I said, lomography is simple and fun, and that's why I would like to try it out. I already use an app. on my brother's I-pod, but i would love to try it from the camera itself.

 * Blog Entry:**

>> "Colorful Lomo Photographs."Weblog entry.alphaflores.com 1 June. 6 May 2011. > The source talks about a girl that wants to learn lomography as well. Lomography inspires people with its colors and angles the picture is taken. The way the girl describes Lomography, it's easy to believe and trust the information. It's described with detail and with thought put into it. It helps me because it tells me the other part to Lomography. It's useful to me because my question was, "Is there all sorts of Lomo?" apparently there isn't but there's parts to the lomography technique.

>> "Going Lomo."Weblog entry.alphaflores.com 29 Apr. 2009. 6 May 20011. > "Going Lomo" talks about a camera that is useful for lomography and how it works. Some main points to this camera is the details about it. How this man is describing a camera, it's kind of simple to trust the information of the source. The source helps me with answering my last question which was, "Does taking a good photo with effect take time?" It's useful because it describes certain cameras used for lomography.

>> "Lomography is a Magazine, a Shop, and a Community dedicated to analogue photography."Weblog entry.lomography.com 3 May 2011. > This source talks about the history of lomography, and how it was found. It explains the five "W's". Lomography is just another type of photography, only with effect. How the narrator wrote the article, it;s true and yes I trust the information. It tells me things I need to know like dates, places, names, and the way lomography started. According to the information, it's very helpful and useful to me.

What was an incident that changed your life? Halloween Memoir.

>> It was a Halloween Night, October 31st to be exact. My friend Monique and I were suppose to go trick-or-treating. Instead, we went to a house party on City Terrace and Hicks. I didn't tell my mom because Monique's phone had turned off. I had no other way to contact my mother. The party ended like around 3:00 or 3:30am, so we decided to walk around a little longer. We then got tired.

> We all decided to go to our friend's house and kick it outside, talking and laughing very loud. Later that night, we had fallen asleep and when we woke up I asked, "Ay what time is it?" Monique asked as well. "It's, hmmm let me check, oh it's 4:30am." Our friend responded. Monique and I paused, looked at each other and stood up. We said our goodbye's and ran to her grandmother's house which was about three to four blocks away.

> We got to Monique's grandmother's house like around 4:55 or 5:00am. Her grandmother began to yell, but then again she was worried. Monique's mom showed up ten minutes later. She told us to get ready because she was going to take us to the police station, I was scared! When we got to the police station, I heard Monique's step dad say,"Here are the girls that were supposedly missing." the cop angrily responded, "Oh, where did you find them?!" "They showed up to Monique's grandmother's house." the dad answered back.

> The cop began to yell at me and Monique. She began explaining about our how worried our parents were and what a terrible idea it was to be out so late. When we left the police station, Monique's parents dropped me off at my house, and when I went in my house, my mom was so glad to see me alive. After that night, I got grounded for about a month. It's really hard for my mom to trust me and let me out at night, but I'm sure I'll gain her trust once again!
