In 1991, a group of Australian students stumbled upon an old toy camera, and decided to take it along on their travels. The inexpensive toy provided hours of ___1___, as the students took snapshots from between their legs, from their hips, and even in midair. Upon ___2___ the film, the students were awed by the unique images the camera had produced –___3___ blended together, things blurred in and out of focus, and ___4___, the shots seemed to capture something real and “in the moment.” And so ___5___ the story of a cute little camera called the LOMO and the global movement it inspired.

1991年，一群奥地利学生偶然发现一部老旧的玩具相机，决定带着一起踏上旅途。这些学生用这个便宜的玩具从两脚中间、从臀部、甚至从半空中随意乱拍，整整玩了好几小时。待底片冲出来后，这部相机所制造出来的独特影像让这些学生惊叹不已──色彩掺杂在一起，东西焦点模糊不清，最重要的是，这些照片似乎捕捉了某种真实且「当下」的东西。于是一部名为LOMO的可爱小相机的故事，以及它所引发的全球性运动，就这么展开了。

First developed in the early 80s, the LOMO is a simple camera known for producing ___6___ colorful images and unpredictable blurs and shadows. However, the camera itself plays ___7___ a small part in the encompassing spirit of Lomography. Users are encouraged to be spontaneous and simply capture the moment. Not knowing what the ___8___ will look like is half the fun, so Lomographers aren’t afraid to try new ideas or shoot from weird angles. Faithful ___9___ of Lomography carry their LOMO with them everywhere, always ready to catch that true slice of life on film. So ___10__ a LOMO, and join the movement today! And don’t forget the all-important Lomographer’s motto – “don’t think, just shoot!”

LOMO相机最初发展于80年代初期，是一部简单的相机，以产生色彩浓烈的影像，以及无法预料的模糊及阴影闻名。然而，相机本身只占LOMO摄影兼容并蓄精神当中的一小部分而已。使用者被鼓励自然随性拍摄，以捕捉当下的瞬间。乐趣的一大半就在于不知道照片看起来会如何，因此LOMO摄影玩家不怕尝试新的构想，也不怕从怪异的角度拍摄。LOMO摄影的忠实信徒随身带着他们的LOMO，随时随地准备用底片捕捉人生的真实切面。所以今天就拿起一部LOMO相机，加入这股风潮吧！可别忘了LOMO摄影最重要的格言──「别想，拍就对了！」
