Hunting the LOMO

After days of stalking through St. Petersburg camera shops, we finally tracked down an elusive LOMO camera, lurking in a stall by the church of the spilled blood.

The LOMO is a rugged, simple-but-reliable Russian camera from the 80s, that is enjoying a revival amongst photographers. It's built like a tank, oozes personality, and takes quirky, strongly vignetteted pictures.

After a little haggling by Olya, it's finally in my cold, grubby hands!
