Introducing Robo-Lomo

To emphasise the customisability of its La Sardina camera, Lomography has invited 25 creatives working in various styles to come up with their own individual camera designs. To the everyday snapper, the camera can be drawn and doodled upon, and the casing comes off so you can give it a different skin. However in the hands of people like Chris 'Howks' Howker, Cleo Ferin Mercury, Kirsty Mitchell and Felt Mistress, the lightweight 135mm film camera takes on a life of its own.

Street artist and illustrator Howks has done one of the most stunning customisations so far, turning the La Sardina he was sent into a silver CMYbot (above). "Like many people who grew up in the late-80s and early-90s, I used to watch my favourite cartoons and the advertisements for the various toy lines linked with the shows. I'd always nag my parents for the latest ones. So the CMYbot is my own little action figure of a robot spy character I made up - hence all the camera lenses on it for recording images and capturing secrets."
