NUMBER ONE HUNDRED & FOUR.

Bridging the gap between the cult following of LOMO toy cameras and our ever more digitised world, Industrial Designer Saikat Biswas has developed designs for the Holga D; a digital camera which would retain the winsome qualities and simplicity of it’s analogue inspiration. Fingers crossed the open-source production plans work out!
NUMBER ONE HUNDRED & TWO.

Quick illustration I did last night in Photoshop, for a friend’s gig poster. It’s of a Russian made Lubitel 166 Universal, circa 1986. Interestingly enough, the Lubitel’s were based on the early 1930’s Voigtländer Brillant design, and although considered a toy camera like the Holga or Diana, features all-glass lenses as well as a number of shutter speed and aperture settings, making it more like a fifties amateur TLR. Which is probably why lubitel translates literally from Russian as amateur.
And yes, I did change the name plate to read ‘Lurid’.
