Colorsplash Camera - Chakras Edition (Staple)

Lomo has teamed up with those pigeon-loving dudes at Staple to create the limited edition rubberized Colorsplash Chakra camera. The first thing you'll notice about this piece is the grey and red colorway (designed by Staple of course) complete with the signature fake turd on the back. Then you might wonder about the odd looking flash sticking out the side - that's were the "Chakras" come in. The Colorsplash flash comes in seven different colors, each representing the seven basic spiritual forces (chakras) and each easily switchable with a simple rotation of the knob. Use the purple colorsplash for peace, tranquility, and closeness, the blue colorsplash for music, nightlife, and parties, the green for nature, animals and life, yellow for sports, orange for consumption (eating, buying), red for sex and passion, or the multicolor colorsplash for the random and unexpected. Of course you can use the colors anyway you see fit, just be creative! This deluxe package also include a 348 page hardcover book that acts as a spiritual guide to Colorsplash enllightenment and features tons of amazing photos taken with each of the color chakras in mind. Color gels, poster, and manual also included.


INCLUDES:
- Chakra Edition Colorsplash Camera
- Colorsplash Chakras Book (384-page hardcover)
- Color Gels
- Poster

Lomo
Holga Starter Kit

New upgraded Holga features built in color -flash system with a carousel around the flash - choose from red, blue, yellow and white. Also new to the Holga is a tripod thread and shutter setting upgrade that now allows a manual shutter setting so you can keep the shutter open as long as desired. Included with this kit is also a 6x6 plastic mask that yields sharper tighter pictures.

More unique photography business distributed by the fanatics at the Lomographic Society. This one is actually a completely separate camera company, but the machine, results and aesthetics are very Lomo-esque. The Holga is a medium format camera, which means that it takes 120mm as opposed to normal 35mm film. This is still a widely available format (just go to a camera store) and can be processed at any developing center. Medium and large format cameras are the choice of many professionals for their excellent enlargement capabilities, crisp detailing and fuller image saturation. They also tend to be very expensive (think 2 grand-plus), but not the Holga. It was originally meant to offer the people an inexpensive way of getting into the world of medium format photography, and it has since developed into it's own unique genre with a worldwide cult following. Because of it‚s design and cheap manufacture, the Holga photographic experience is completely unpredictable- the plastic lens distorts, the plastic body leaks light, the focus is soft, the edges are tunneled- all of which makes it an experimentalist‚s dream. You can also blast as many exposures as you want on to one frame (just don‚t wind it) and the Holga comes with a built-in flash for low light. This package includes everything you need to get shooting: the camera, instructions in 8 languages, a roll of 120 film, batteries, photo tape to block light leaks if you don't want em, and a beautiful 90 page, full-color book of Holga photos.

Lomo
Supersampler Blue Rubberized

The popular Supersampler has been given a seductive and intriguing new treatment – rubberized blue. This camera may look like a toy (and in some ways it is), but it actually takes brilliant photographs. The Supersampler has 4 separate high-quality lenses which go off in succession, making 4 split images on one picture. You can adjust the shutter speed to take the 4 snaps in 2 seconds, the standard, or 0.2 seconds for really fast stuff. It's incredibly simple to use, completely spontaneous, and about the most fun you can have with a camera. There's no viewfinder and the lens has a sharp enough focal length that you can take clear pics as close as 1ft from your subject. Basically that means you hold the thing out, press the shutter button, move it around and experiment your ass off (remember the 2 seconds). The only drawback with the Supersampler is that you pretty much have to use it outdoors, in bright lighting situations. Included with this kit are the Lomo Supersampler camera, 1 roll of 24 exposure/ ASA 200 film, a 144 page Supersampler image book and the instructions. It takes regular 35mm film and requires no batteries.
