THE LOMOGRAPHIC SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL REQUESTS YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE  BIG ONLINE POLL ABOUT HOW LOMOGRAPHERS SEE AND PERFORM ANALOG AND  DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE

GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE LOMOGRAPHY PHOTOKINA 2006 SHOW, A BOOK & THE FUTURE OF LOMOGRAPHY
ATTENTION ALL POLL PARTICIPANTS
– THE SEPTEMBER 21ST MYSTERY-PRODUCT RAFFLE

WE’VE GOT A TEMPTING SCHEDULE OF TREATS FOR YOU AT PHOTOKINA 2006

Okay, you win. The 9,000+ images that you and your Lomographic contemporaries submitted to our Analog Future Rumble successfully prove that Lomographers are without a doubt the most qualified mass of creative-types around, and as such, we'd like to ask you for your input on the future of photography (especially the analog part)! Your absolutely breathtaking mass of images ranged from the most insane crossprocessed-multipleexposed-lightleaked-buckwild-blurred-streaked-buckwild snapshot to simple, sublime, and seriously beautiful intimate portraits. These incredible shots have made one thing very obvious: you know your stuff.

As such, we hereby humbly ask you to share some of your knowledge and insights with us via our Analog & Digital Photography Online Poll. This series of questions can be answered within minutes and will thoroughly quiz you on the advantages and disadvantages of both, Analog and Digital, the special properties of Analog vs. Digital, your connection to the whole thing, and where Analog and Digital is going in the future. We’ll use the results 1.) to guide our upcoming exhibition at the Photokina show (more on that below), 2.) most likely in a book on “Analog Photography in the Digital Age” that we have planned for next year, and 3.) to create as many useful Lomographic things & tools as possible in the near future! This poll is for the joy of millions of Lomographers, for the evolution of Lomography as a way of being and creativity, and for the ultimate explosion of the Lomographic World Archive!

As an Analog Honzo, please take on this solemn duty and help us to show the everlasting beauty and the zillion creative possibilities of film to a huge hall full of mega pixel maniacs. Or the other way around: As a Digi-Muchacho, show those Silver-Halo-Thalers where the world is heading to – the thrill and rhythm of screens and micro-memories literally everywhere! And if you have friends or colleagues who also fit either the analog or digital crew, please forward the poll to them!

As usual, we need it fast! The deadline to submit is FRIDAY, SEPT 15TH.

Click on the link below to participate. As a certified devotee of Lomographic shooting and experimenting, your feedback is both essential and highly valued. And outside of our heartfelt gratitude, we’ve got a little something else for you...

WWW.LOMOGRAPHY.COM/ONLINEPOLL

Each participant who fully completes the Poll will receive 10 piggypoints (coupons for the Lomography Shop) and will be automatically entered into a grand raffle. The prize is nothing less than 10 of our “September 21st Mystery Products.” As the name suggests, this awe-inspiring item cannot be revealed until that day – although if you check the LOMOBLOG between now and then, you might see a few hints.

Rest assured, this will be the biggest, most essential, and most stunning product that we have ever launched. So complete your Poll questions, and get into the running!

This year’s Photokina tradeshow (the biggest photo industry show in the world, held in Cologne, Germany) is primed for a full-on Lomographic celebration. From September 26th to October 1st, you’d better get ready for a heaping dose of:

PIMP-YOUR-CAMERA WORKSHOP
