Supersampler love - how I got into lomography

Today lomography is a part of my life! When I was about 14 my parents and I moved to Japan for about 3 years. At first I hated moving half across the world away from my friends and my older sisters but I slowly started to like it there. One week end we went shopping and in a small and trendy shop somewhere between Shibuya and Omontesando/Harajuku I found a supersampler. I was fascinated and in love. It was about that time that I also used my polaroid pcam, polaroid joy cam and polaroid izone. Unfortunately I only shoot a couple of rolls in my supersampler and polaroid stopped making film for all my polaroid cameras. But I continued my analogue photography with my canon eos 300V. Last year, thanks to an American blogger (that I can’t find anymore :( ), I found out about the fuji instax mini 7s. I was over excited again! The fuji instax mini 7 somehow lead me and my will to take analogue photos again to lomography.com. I think it was thanks to flickr where people uploaded their instant photos taken with a Diana F+ and the instant back. I am now a happy owner of both Diana F+ and Diana Mini. Unfortunately I can’t find my supersampler (I moved about 6 times since i bought it) but I reacently ordered a new one. I’m so happy that I found my way back to lomograhy and I’m never letting go! The supersampler brought me so much joy as an unhappy teenager in Japan and I lived the lomography philosophy without even knowing it!
