Dear
LomoPlayers,
Once again the LomoYear is not beginning with a detailed programme
of the projects to bring Lomographic Happiness but casually, with
a memento. All the peering, oggling, eyeing-up, fixating, incorporating
and colouring has come to an end, we find ourselves in the last
phase of the Lomography
World League Games. Here is an overview on the last local events
for qualification to the WorldCongress 2004, and the last warning
for immediate submission of LWL artwork. Get your pictures on that
poster now and send it ASAP to your closest embassy or directly
to the Vienna Headquarters.
[ A note off the record: If you can't meet the exact deadline you
might experience the famous grace of the WorldArchiveBoss! ]

A
brief reminder of the goals for 2004: nifty publications, phantasmagoric
journeys, new exciting embassies, masses of heavyweight competitions,
festivals and trade fairs, e.g. the Frankfurt Book Fair, Sonar,
Photokina, a WorldCongress somewhere between Barcelona and Peking.

I Lomo You in Sao Paolo
For André Takeda and his team of enthusiastic
lomographers it was only a matter of time before they decided to
launch a São Paulo Lomographic Embassy, having discovering
lomography in 2002. For them Lomo = Love. As a result they engaged
20 lomographers from all around Brazil to find their Lomographic
inspirations for the I Lomo You exhibition. More than 1000 lomographs
will be shown on Feb. 3 at the Piola restaurant. The opening of
the show also marks the launch of their new website and celebrates
the inauguration of the embassy. André Takeda, Luciano Munhoz,
Cassiano Saldanha, Emmanuel Martins and Ana Lucia Mariz are already
working on new Sao Paolo LomographicActivities, some of them also
in cooperation with the Brazilian Lomography Lady Ambassador Filipa
in Rio.
