Photography subjects do not have to be seen through a viewfinder to be artistic. After all when taking a 'lomograph' one knows where the subject is, what conditions surround it and what kind of result may be delivered. The only unknown is exactly what the shot will look like.
Perhaps we should have a mini challenge here using mobile phones - titled 'Phonography' and see how interesting a shot from the hip can be. Not the same as a Lomo maybe but equally challenging for the technology.
Here are two taken with my Nokia 6230!

You know, photography is not all about perfect focus, dof and composition. It's about capturing the way light reflects off an object at a given instance. Lomography may be 'technically' wrong, but sometimes it's the wrong in things that make it interesting and make it expressive. That's my thinking behind Lomography.

A lot of my pictures are taken without using the viewfinder/LCD. One of my top-rated shots  was taken like this.
I had a clear idea of what I wanted it to look like, just not if I'd get it on any particular frame. I find it's a combination of skill and luck to shoot that way ... I usually have a good idea of the composition and exposure I want, I just don't always capture it.
I have found that my accuracy in framing shots is pretty good for things within about fifteen degrees (vertically) of the horizon, but my aim gets progressively worse as the subject approaches the zenith. |

Cool idea, Jon! It is a rather similar approach. I don't even have a wireless phone, let alone one with a camera. :-(
I left comments on your shots. |

So, you asked for examples: I posted a couple to my mail art blog, The Sideshowpost. I took the top one driving through Iowa Fourth of July weekend and the one of my bear cub a few days before. Lest any of you think I can't make a real photograph, here.
