LoFi Melbourne, a photo project.

Like most designers, we’re big fans of analogue photography. There’s nothing we like more than taking a Holga or a Lomo out for the day and seeing what happens when you shoot from the hip. But like they say, the best camera is the one you have on you, and the camera we all have on us these days is the iPhone.So for the past year or so, I and another collaborator who wishes to remain nameless (spooky) have been documenting Melbourne’s quirks and beauty spots for a tumblog called “Melbourne, I Love You LoFi‘. Every image is taken with the (frankly terrible) iPhone camera, and then edited to ‘look analogue’ using iPhone apps like Camerabag, Tiltshift or Hipstermatic. While none of the pictures is going to win any awards, together they help to document the moments that make Melbourne such an interesting city.
