It's because I have since been inspired by the world of Lomography. 

Why lomography? And why now? Well, I knew of Lomo's existence long ago, while I was in college in 2000 or something. But it never struck me as interesting because I was already doing "lomography" of my own on a 35mm camera... in the form of an old Nikon FA SLR camera. I was high on photography (and in many ways still am). I was shooting everything from cemeteries to orphanage... to flowers. So doing my own take on "shooting from the hip" so to speak. But of course every process of that required thinking. Photography no matter how lax has to have some basic composition elements. Lomographers still have to think about the angle. The colors. The exposure. The ASA settings... The lightings...

So, it's not like it's exactly like the Lomographic Society says "don't think, just shoot".

But I understand the thrill of releasing yourself from rules and just shooting without thinking (too much). I've been trying it in the past weeks and found a nice break from digital photography. Lomography on the russian made LC-A (aka Lomo Compakt Automat) will never replace digital photography but it's nice to finally remember what it's like prior to mega pixels and LCD screens.

So, back to the question. Why Lomo? Because I want to create a blog loosely inspired on the axiom of "don't think, just shoot". May it be photography, or just my usual lambasting, putting an object within a critical eye... I want to try not to think of what the prospect reader thinks of me or judge me. I'll give honest, sometimes constructive and sometimes downright destructive thoughts out loud - going to give it as it is... "don't think, just shoot".

And why now? Because of my recent liberating experience with the Lomo camera. I find it's important to reminiscent, reflect and document one's experiences because... we forget things far too often, too fast. Because the camera has thought me not to take things for granted. To enjoy the most mundane things in life... That thinking with your heart, is just as important as thinking with your brain. So thanks to the Lomo, I've found the catalyst to start blogging again.
