Snapshot: Jimmy Phua
If film gets phased out one day, we're pretty sure Jimmy Phua will get withdrawal symptoms from not snapping with his Lomo cameras. Lomography is one of the few remaining class of photography these days that still relies heavily on film, and shooters that fall under this class are known to produce unpredictable and fun results.
Phua's shots are random (some may call it weird), but they are great examples of how photography should be--fun.

What he says:
When I was 16, I got my hands on a Nikon SLR and fell in love with it instantly. However, my interest to pursue photography as a hobby faded as I couldn't afford a camera then.
In 2005, I chanced upon lomography.com while serving an overseas stint. Being away from home and bored, I picked up a Lomo L-CA and started to document my daily life in Dubai. My love for photography was rekindled.
Cindy, a fellow lomographer I met in Singapore, shared the same passion in snapshots as me. Our desire to spread the love for this alternative form of photography started Lomotion Singapore, an online forum for lomographers to discuss and critique each other's works.
I believe Lomography is a fun activity that helps generate one's interest in photography. I also hope Lomotion will be a stepping stone for the younger photographers to explore the world of photography.

passing thru
Shooting with SuperSampler cameras give a totally different effect and feel to what was captured. In this case, it's four shots of a bicycle passing by.
