| Back in the winter of 2003, we met a Brooklyn gentleman who goes by the name of “Dalek.” As part of a gallery project entitled “Dream So Much,” we lent him a white Colorsplash camera to customize as he pleased. Two weeks later, we were awestruck to see the results! Our plain camera had been transformed into a jazzy black and white number that used dozens of black typeset stickers to create a half-camo, half jumbled letters pattern – with one crazy, staring eye smack in the middle of it.
With this in mind, we contacted Dalek last year with a pitch to create the first artist-customized Lomography camera. Given his precision linework, amazing use of color, and world-famous “Space Monkey” motifs, we were positive that the results would be stunning. After receiving a camera and 10-pack of film from us, Dalek set about creating an entirely new graphic look for the Supersampler. He was easily inspired by it’s future-world design and crispy four-frame sequential images. Alongside his personal photo shoots, we asked our global community at large to submit their finest Supersampler shots for inclusion in a collaborative book. What you see before you is the culmination of nearly one solid year of work. A gorgeous magenta Supersampler sits within a completely customized package. A 166 page book entitled “URBANIZE!” is filled with Dalek’s breathtaking graphics and hundreds of Supersampler shots by both the man himself and by over 50 Lomographic contributors. EACH DALEK SUPERSAMPLER PACKAGE CONTAINS: Oh, and if you’re new to the world of Supersamplers then you’re in for a treat. This little muchacha takes 35mm film and turns it into beautiful 4-frame serial action portraits by way of its inline set of four ultra-precise lenses. And you can develop that film anywhere! |

The first 100 customers who buy a Dalek Supersampler from Lomography.com will have their included “URBANIZE!” books hand-signed by Dalek himself! This is a pretty fierce collector’s item, and it’s only available here!

Here you have the major fruits of the Dalek & the Lomographic Society’s collaboration. On his side you have amazing graphics, top-notch photo editing, and around 30 amazing Supersampler shots taken by the man himself. On our side you have a few lighthearted text blurbs and a whole ton of Supersampler images contributed by ultra-talented Lomographers around the world. All of the images and graphics were hand-edited by Dalek to flow in a smooth current of color, light, and motif. From front to cover, “URBANIZE!” is a stunning read.
