About this time last year, we posed a question to the Lomographic Community at large.
With Lomographers all across the world aiming their lenses and firing a colored flash burst at any and every given opportunity, you can truly call the act of Colorsplashing a bona-fide human mass-movement. But this begs an important question: where does the motivation and inspiration for all of this hyperactivity stem from?
To find out, we’ve teamed up with our good friends Staple Design. This brilliant crew of designers and visionaries collaborated with us to research, catalog, and present the seven basic spiritual forces – chakras – of Colorsplashing. They are:
|
 |
 |
| |
• Purple Colorsplash Chakra: Peace, tranquility, and closeness |
|
|
| |
• Blue Colorsplash Chakra: Music, nightlife, parties, and gatherings |
|
|
| |
• Green Colorsplash Chakra: Nature, Life, and Animals |
|
|
| |
• Yellow Colorsplash Chakra: Activities, diversions, and sports |
|
|
| |
• Orange Colorsplash Chakra: Consumption, eating, buying, and collecting |
|
|
| |
• Red Colorsplash Images: Sex, Passion, Love, and Strength |
|
|
| |
• Multicolor Colorsplash Images: Don’t Care About any Rules |
|
|
| |
Hundreds of Lomographers teamed up with an elite squad of eleven Commissioned Chakra photographers to produce several thousand images – all dedicated to illustrate and further explore the incredible power of the Colorpslash Chakras! After one year of blood, sweat, and tears, we are nearly ready to present the fruits of their labor.

Thousands of colorsplash shots from the book – streaming in from all over the world - will decorate the walls and dazzle your eyes. Cool beverages and hot music will on hand. Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP at least three days before the event.
