Kohei Yoshiyuki



I stumbled upon one of Yoshiyuki's photos while I was looking into buying a lomography camera. He takes pictures of couples he finds making out in parks. I'm so glad I discovered them because I find them ethereal and touching. An interesting meta-voyeurism is happening in some of them. You can look at more of his photos here.


A recent NY Times article on Yoshiyuki.


In related news, Lomography is currently working with The White Stripes to make Meg and Jack specific versions of the Diana and Holga cameras. I just bought a Holga and I'm really pumped to see what the photos look like.

Wow. There are so many lumps and oddly wrong looking things on these people. So sexual without any nudity. What is that lighting? I'd like to see another set.
