BULB LAB – Biserko Ferček

After our series of articles concerning blur we're heading towards a new adventure called "Old on New". The title can suggest that we will be talking about the usage of old lenses with manual focus and aperture on new digital cameras. The first obvious question is "what's the need for that with today's lenses?" Bibo will try to offer a few answers that could make you change your mind...

TIME MACHINE - Želimir Koščević

In this issue we're starting with a new feuilleton called "Time Machine" by Prof. Želimir Koščević, a graduated art historian and ethnologist, born in Zagreb. He has worked as the Director of The Student's Center Gallery in Zagreb for many years and from 1980 to 2004 keeper and advisor at the Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb. Today he's working in Photo Gallery Lang in Samobor as a program consultant.

When after 160 years from the invention of photography it's being publicly stated that "the end of photography has come", we're rushing to write its history before it is over.

PROJECT - Nataliya Peregudova

Nataliya Peregudova was born and grew up in Kiev, Ukraine. In 2002 she graduated Computer Science, National Technical University of Ukraine NTUU"KPI", Kiev, Ukraine.

Her work is a response to modern photography, which in many cases lacks positivity and colour. Wishing to make photography more colorful and less complicated in visual perception, she created a new direction called PhotoFunArt. The definition of PhotoFunArt appeared from three elemental words - Photography, Fun and Art, thus easy. What makes a photograph a photofunart one?

In her "Fruit Portraits" Nataliya plays with characters and uses unusual metaphors where the main role is played by fruits. But there's always a person in the center of the shot.
Nataliya's photographs are fun and humorous. PhotoFunArtistic is how the author describes her own works.

COLUMN - Mare Milin

You've gotten used to vivacious ink illustrations and detailed texts about the ups and downs of a photographer, but Mare's column this time will surprise with contents: next to one as always interesting story you will have the chance to see a set of lomographies and thus to get to know Mare in a complete different way.

GLOBULB – web of the month

To motivate and inspire photographers to think about the presentation of their photos on the net, we will select each time a web site that according to our taste and opinion deserves a special attention. We will reward the author with the Globulb statuette and share with you our enthusiasm. Ladies and gentlemen, we're presenting you Mark Tucker.

GALLERY 24

And finally, we're bringing a rich gallery of 24 photos made by international authors. We hope you'll enjoy them. Let's get going...I

LOMOTOMIA

A few days ago, on October 25th, the first national gathering of lovers of lomograph took place. The main event was the group exhibition of abotu 20 authors and the "construction" of a lomo wall where the audience also took part. Guys from DeMODE: DJ Bambi and DJ Jon B were responsible for music and good atmosphere. You will find a gallery of works and a report from the event in this issue.
