	Lomography Arrives in Los Angeles with a New Store and Embassy! The grand opening party is just the beginning, Angelinos. Get ready for the full Lomographic experience, as the new store will also be your meet-up spot, workshop location, gallery space, and feature the full line of Lomographic products and services.  Come in and paw that camera you've been dreaming about, pick up some film, and soon even drop off your film for processing! You'll also be able to take part in workshops and exhibitions, or just come spend the afternoons or evenings chilling on our couches and talking shop with other Lomographers and friends!  We've got a ton of stuff planned for the coming year, and we hope you'll take the ride with us!
