Bettina Rheims - Morceaux Choisis (Paperback, illustrated edition)

The latest revolution in low-cost and easy-to-use camera technology comes not from the Japanese, but from Russia. Manufactured in St. Petersburg, the Lomo camera is a no-flash no-focus indoor-outdoor marvel that has captivated people across the globe. Sturdy and hip, the Lomo has been seen being sported by celebrities like Brian Eno, David Byrne, Yasser Arafat, and the rock band Pulp. Naturally, a book on the phenomena was in order -- but not an ordinary book, a savvy compendium of Lomographic imagery. This book documents lomographmania -- which converts even those, like the authors, in the fine-art photography world.
