The Sun Never Sets on Russia! - Extended Rumble

Zdravstvuyte, Lomographers!

Zdravstvuyte, Lomographers!

Did you know that sun never sets on Russia? When it is night in St Petersburg, the sun is already rising above the horizon in Vladivostok! Russia is a great country that spreads for thousands of kilometers and spans eleven time zones over two continents. The country is diverse in its culture, mixing the practical Western influence with the mysterious Eastern traditions.

What is more, it’s a motherland of your favourite LC-A that was produced by the famous LOMO Plant in Saint-Petersburg. This year celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Lomographic Embassy in Russia is honoring this camera with a street exhibition featuring a massive Lomowall, (rumor has it that is will be 50 meters long!!) No easy task that is given! Which is why we want to ask for your help! What we really want is to see your best shots at this outstanding event. So now it’s time for you to show us that unique lomographic view of Russia.
