Lomography is essentially all about you and your analogue images. Over the years the community has given us great feedback and food for thought on what could make lomography.com more interactive and functional. We've taken on board what you've said and have been working hard to make the Lab and Homes more user-friendly, so it will be easier for you to upload, organise and present your shots.

Labs and Homes have undergone a massive re-vamp and now the test versions are ready for you to try out on beta.lomography.com. But don't worry - your old Lomohome and its images and albums are safe on lomography.com!

Give it a try and we hope you like what we've been up to.

• Use tags to describe your images
• Link images with a location
• Upload multiple shots at once
• No need to resize your images any more
• Tell people the film as well as the camera you used

As you will have noticed we have already launched the Magazine section of the new website. The Mag started off as the Blog, Locations and Events. Recently, we added Films and Cameras; where you can read reviews, even write your own and upload your related images.

Keep an eye on the Blog, because this is where we will be announcing new features for you to try out. Plus the Blog is THE place to catch up with all goings-on in the world of Lomography. At the moment you can read what the reigning European football Championship team Captain, Iker Casillas, and Lomography have in common. Check out our blog post on what happened when straight off the back of his team's vistory, Casillas travelled to Peru to take part in a social project for children organised by Plan International.
