Aug 25, 2021 – Lomography Film Photography Photowalk
The art, the people, and the unique and unusual happenings that define New York’s streets make it the perfect place to shoot street film photography. After all, quite like the city itself, film photography is spontaneous, surprising, a little risky, and lots of fun.
Please join Focus Camera and Lomography on the evening of Wednesday, August 25th, for a film photography photowalk through Bushwick, one of the city’s most colorful and lively neighborhoods.
Attendees will be provided with a roll of 35mm color film to use for the event. At the end of the photowalk, the film be will be collected and developed. Scans will be sent to each attendee via email the following week.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own cameras, though Lomography will also be providing some cameras for use during the photowalk, including a mix of Sprocket Rocket, Fisheye, LaSardina, and Actionsampler cameras. Please arrive early, and bring your credit card and photo ID, if you are interested in loaning a camera for the event.
There are limited spots available for this event, so grab your ticket now via Eventbrite to reserve your place.
