Photos of the Los Angeles Lomography Gallery Store
April 4, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Los Angeles & Photography
About a month ago Lomography, the brand that single-handed ushered in the return of analog photography, moved into a new space here in Los Angeles, West Hollywood to be precise. Funny enough I actually pass by it every day on my way to work but I’d never stopped by. The other day though I purchased a Canon S90 so I was well armed to go in and document the space.
It’s situated on a corner of Santa Monica Blvd. in a two story building with an entirely glass facade. From the street you can see the giant wall they’ve decorated with what seems to be thousands of photos in a great grid of color. It looks quite abstract from a distance but as you get closer it becomes clear that they’re average photos.
Inside they sell every type of camera and accessory you could imagine. It’s staggering the amount of cameras they sell at this point, almost overwhelmingly so. But the space is divided quite clearly into different sections and each camera is marked with a description of what they do as well. Add to that a rather cheery staff who chatted with me and were helpful in answering all of my questions makes the store a great place to visit.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Didn’t know about this! Will definitely check it out when I get the chance.
Too bad it’s in LA. The store looks great and I want a lomo camera badly. When did they move into this building? Everything looks quite new.
I dig the store but wonder how long it’s going to last. Doesn’t seem like the best location to me. Hopefully they do well.
I’m soooo going this weekend! Thanks Bobby!
I have a DianaF+ camera by lomography and it is the best! I took it with me to Morocco with the b+w 120 film and it took some magical photos. I suggest this company and camera to everyone.
My heaven on Earth! The store looks great, if I were there I’d probably spend my time here for hours!

Singly handly ushered the return of analog photography? Film is still widely used today for non lomographic purposes. Sure their overpriced pieces of plastic have brought some people into the world of film, but i wouldnt go as far as to say they “single handedly” brought film back, it always has and always will be used.
