New York City Lomography Gallery Store Grand... →
I’ve been wanting to try out lomography ever since I saw Kathy Behrenroth’s photos, but I still haven’t decided on a camera. Next time I’m in NY, I know where I’m going! The grand opening is this Tuesday, the 27th of January, but they’re also hosting a party on the 26th. More info and RSVP here.

Fifty People, One Question is a terrific project by Crush + Lovely and Deltree. The London edition is the latest in the series, but my favorite is the one in NY, which I embedded above. Two others were shot in Brooklyn and New Orleans. I first read about this project on swissmiss, a blog a highly recommend.
