A few months ago, I randomly joined the Ella Lama and Lomography Lomo’Instant collaboration giveaway and to make the long story short…I WON!!!
Here’s my winning answer:
I always say “Bless to be blessed!” and winning this giveaway proves how God can randomly reward you. I believe that this is God’s way of telling me that I’m doing a great job with my passion projects, Share Movement and Shop and Share (plus my church work!) and His way of encouraging me to just keep up the good work and pursue growth.
Another bonus was having my Lomo’Instant customized by one of my favorite artists, Ella Lama!
Spot my life verse (John 15:5) Nothing without God.
Anyway, here’s my quick unboxing blog. Enjoy!

On the upper left corner you’ll see the shutter release button.
On the left side you’ll see the MX switch button (multiple exposure), the focusing zone setting, the tripod thread and the battery door.

At the back, you’ll see the yellow mark (guide for the film), back door lock, camera back door, and film chamber (inside).
And at the bottom, you’ll see the shooting mode switch, shutter speed switch and a quick overview of what the icons stand for.
