TROMA & LOMOGRAPHY ANNOUNCE TROMA-OGRAPHY CONTEST WINNERS!
|
April 24, 2013, New York, NY - Troma Entertainment is pleased to announce the winners of the Troma/Lomography Troma-ography photo contest. Analog photographers from countries all over the world submitted over 800 photo entries to the contest in honor of the recent 14th Annual TromaDance Film Festival, full of mutants, blood and toxic waste! "We at Troma Entertainment pride ourselves on our ability to look at what the mainstream is doing and then doing the exact opposite," says Troma president and creator of the Toxic Avenger Lloyd Kaufman. "With the mainstream embracing digital photography, we felt that Lomography's effort to revive analog photography synergized well with Troma's principles, and we are humbled by the hundreds of Tromatic photo submissions that the contest received." Fans of Troma and Lomography should keep an eye out for Lloyd Kaufman's upcoming Lomo-Amigo photo series from Troma's Occupy Cannes events at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
