Seen on Austinist.com (Anonymous Tip feed) today:
Enough with the Lomo/Fisheye bullshit already. You’re a fucking hipster with a $80 shit-for-camera. We got it. Go away now, please.
And…
Someone is jealous of the lomo/fisheye complainer! You’re a boring ass lemming and are sad that you think the person that took that picture is awesome when really, he is super lame for following expensive trends that never should have been revived and are in no way as artful, creative, or cool.
I thought this was hilarious, and I’m not sure why! Maybe because I like the tone of these posts combined with the fact that the lo-fi genre of photography has gotten mainstream enough for one of its cameras to be referenced as a hipster toy. Which, in a way, it kind of is (I’ve actually seen hipsters with Lomo cameras). Funny.
