Lomography UAE

LC-A workshops in July

You are invited to the first of several workshops lined up this summer at thejamjar. We will start off with a workshop and outing dedicated to the LC-A. 

Introduction to the LC-A
Saturday, 4 July from 11am - 12.30pm at thejamjar
At this beginner level workshop, you will be introduced to the LC-A, hear about its humble beginnings and how it sparked the Lomography movement around the world. Besides knowing how to use the LC-A, you will also learn about some fun techniques, tips and tricks and see some of the accessories specific to the LC-A. 
 

A date with the LC-A
Sunday, 12th July from 6.30-9.30pm at Dubai Festival Centre, Cold Stone Creamery (ground floor)
An outing to take photos with our LC-As. There is a good old fashioned funfair that would be great to capture with our LC-As and if it gets too hot/humid, we can head indoors and go to the more modern Bowling City and see what catches our fancy there. There will also be some Dubai Summer Suprise activities happening that evening, so there will be plenty to lomograph. After that, we can settle down, have some ice-cream and recap.

Bring your LC-A/LC-A+ and film will be provided if you don't have any. Limited numbers of LC-A+ will be available to loan for the evening.

Cost: Dhs 50 per session or Dhs 70 if you attend both Introduction to the LC-A and the A date with the LC-A workshops

Oh it's so 1984 - The LC-A Anniversary Party in Dubai

 

Frankie said relax, Madonna was like a virgin and everybody was Footloose. It was also the year the LC-A was born.

Celebrate the LC-A’s 25th birthday party, hear about it’s humble beginnings and how it sparked the Lomography movement around the world.

There will be special discounts on cameras and films that night and for the rest of the month, plus announcement of upcoming Lomography workshops and events.

Join us for some birthday cake and drinks – enjoy music from that special year, courtesy of Discoballbreaker.

Let’s share memories of what life was like in Dubai in 1984. Bring along photos or any memorabilia from that year and let’s feel nostalgic. The night will end with the screening of the BBC documentary about Lomography, “Life through a Lens”.
