NEW YORK, NY, April 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Still the world is struck dumb with horror looking back on the tragedy that hit Japan last month and we are standing in awe of the
strength of our Japanese friends. Before the disaster struck, we were working on a special edition dedicated to the Golden Week
in Japan. After what happened, we decided to launch this edition but add a charity aspect to it to show respect and offer help to
our Japanese friends. Three cameras, the Diana Mini JIYU (Freedom), the Diana F+ KIRAMEKI (Sparkling) and the Fisheye 2 SHIAWASE
(Happiness) were designed for the most joyful time in Japan and will bring some hope to Japan. To give financial aid we will
donate 20.000 Euros to the Red Cross to support the reconstruction of a country so precious and beautiful.
Immediate Support
Take the chance to be part of the Lomography aid team to support a country that is going through tragedy beyond believe. The
Red Cross will use the donation on site to make sure that our Japanese friends find some relieve and hope while we are involving
our community in various online actions through our Lomography Loves Japan initiative. Our Lomography Team in Tokyo
is trying to live their lives as normal as possible and are sharing their experiences with you on our website. They organized free
workshops called âEURœSmile Everyone!âEUR to bring smiles to fellow Lomographers and wish for hope for everyone in Japan. Besides
the Lomographic actions in Tokyo, we are organizing competitions on our website and will be publishing more articles about the
daily lives of our friends in Japan to keep you updated.
