The lomographic style has made a huge comeback in the last 5 years; beginning with Urban Outfitter’s reintroduction of the Holga, and most recently with Instagram’s one-click filters on their smart phone app. But Los Angeles based artist Neil Krug pushes the limits of this old film style to a whole new level. His films and photographs boast rich color and vivid landscapes that leave the viewer with a slightly-out-of-focus peek into a dreamy fantasy land.

Visit Krug’s website to view his wide array of photographs, as well as album art and videos he’s created for musicians such as Ratatat, Ladytron, and Devendra Banhart. www.neilkrug.com

Follow Shwood’s own Eric Singer as he meets up with Keith Hufnagel and others to claim the streets of LA in pursuit of Shwood’s latest experiment, sunglasses made from broken skateboard decks. Crafted entirely in Shwood’s local woodshop, this one-of-a-kind pair of sunglasses was created out of curiosity, just to see what was possible.
