2. What are the unique charms of Lomography, concepts that can only be expressed through Lomography, and any resulting outcomes?
I always use Lomo 800 for my daily film stock since it gives me great photosensitivity in different situations, especially in low-lighting situations. Besides, Lomography has fabulous colors and gorgeous grain.

1. Please introduce yourself and your usual activities.
My name is Hideki Ito, and I live in Okinawa. I run a small two-room inn called Somos in Nakijin Village, located in the northern part of Okinawa's main island. Nakijin Village is an area with many beautiful natural beaches, where I enjoy surfing and photographing local surfers with an analog camera. On days without waves, I make music.

2. What are the unique charms of Lomography, concepts that can only be expressed through Lomography, and any resulting outcomes?
I love the motto of Lomography, 'Don't Think, Just Shoot!' It may seem like a failed photo to some, with overexposure or blurred subjects, but I find charm in the experimental spirit and playful humor that makes all these part of the expression. I also love using color-shifting films like LomoChrome Purple and LomoChrome Turquoise, and I am surprised by the incredible colors that result after development, similar to using expired film. I enjoy the fun of 'expecting the unexpected' in the results.

1. Please introduce yourself and your usual activities.
My name is Yuki Usuba. I used to enjoy taking cityscapes and street photos with a digital camera, but since falling in love with film cameras two years ago, film has become my main medium. I now own over 10 film cameras, including both 35mm and medium format.

2. What are the unique charms of Lomography, concepts that can only be expressed through Lomography, and any resulting outcomes?
Lomo films are wonderfully cheap in a good way. Capturing modern scenes with a retro nuance reminiscent of the 60s is quite appealing. If I want to take 'emo' photos, I choose Lomo film without hesitation. I particularly love using Color Negative and Metropolis. I also enjoy using the Lomo LC-A camera, which produces retro results. It requires a knack for shooting distances, but it's perfect for enjoying retro cinematic photos with darker tones and vignetting.
