I went to the Lomography store yesterday and it was a very interesting experience. The store matches the aesthetic of the Lomography movement. It has a very casual feel to it. It definitely belongs in Greenwich Village. The wall is a huge collage of Lomo prints; most appeared to be of or taken in New York City. There was a lot of repetition and it had the feel or working well as a larger work of art. It’s worth visiting the store just to see the wall. But the layout was also great - all the cameras are sitting on a table in the middle and you can touch them and handle them and get a feel for the camera. I have a feeling they would have probably let me load some film in and take some shots for them to keep. (And I might have if I hadn’t been there with others) The table has an outline of each camera beneath it with the price of the camera listed. The staff (well, the one woman there at that time) was very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a good hire. There were also tons of books and magazines wholly consisting of Lomographic images.
My Latest Procedural Art
More math-based art, but I really like how this came out a LOT better than my experiment with Fibonacci. Check them out!

My latest Procedural Art Experiment
I think that nearly everyone who has ever learned about the Fibonacci Sequence is fascinated by how quickly it grows. I wanted to illustrate that, so I created this collage with some modifications to J im’s makeCollage.pl script. The rules were that each picture takes the place of a number on the Fibonacci Sequence and is displayed that many times. Of course, I skipped Fibonacci number 1, which is 0. No point in having a picture show up 0 times. So the first picture is shown once, as is the second. Then two times, then three, then…..
