LomoAid by LOMOMANILA

LomoAid is our campaign to get aid and relief for the victims of typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) in the Philippines. Using our analog photos, we choose to inspire and send a message of hope. One can join in just by adding the image above and endorsing trusted relief organizations such as The Philippine National Red Cross( www.redcross.org.ph/ ) and Unicef ( www.unicef.org/ ).






LomoAid is being organized by members of Lomomanila, a local community of Lomography enthusiast and photographers. We hope others can join in with their photos and their donations.

Here is our ChipIn Page for contributions. Paypal proceeds go directly to the Philippine Red Cross. lomomanila.chipin.com/lomoaid

We also have a flickr community at www.flickr.com/groups/lomomanila/

Though our website is still on maintenance mode, feel free to check it out at Lomomanila.ph

Open your heart


Open your heart
Originally uploaded by choochay
Open your heart

An open hand signifies an open heart. Remember when you were a kid? And your mom would hold your hand when you were scared. Or when you hold the hand of your loved one, to assure them that you're there. Holding anothers' hand is a sign of comfort and relief.

The Philippines is in shock and grief due to Ondoy. Please help us.

If you can, please donate to the Philippine Red Cross at www.redcross.org.ph/ or via our Chipin page at lomomanila.chipin.com/lomoaid
