The Thousands

Is your life lacking in poignant moments? Do you regularly wake up feeling all too correct and clean, with a practical monochrome outfit laid out at the foot of your bed? Do you say no to delicious snacks and plan your holidays using Excel spreadsheets? It’s possible you need to make some changes: loosen up a bit, get drunk and wiz in a park, eat a burger, catch an STI. You know, live a little.

But then again, maybe you just need to buy a Lomo. Because we all know what really counts is photographic evidence. And even if you spent your evening hanging up damp towels, a Lomo, with its leaky colours, surprise auras and magical flaws, would capture it just so, and all your friends would wish that they’d also been hanging up damp towels.**You might even save pictures of the damp towel evening in a special album to pass on to your children as heirlooms. No really, you might.

It’s 25 years since the Lomo LCA was born and in celebration they’ve released an anniversary edition with lovely textured bits and a special stamp. Buy it now, for the sake of your children!
