About me

My name is Vera Gotseva. I studied philosophy and theatrical criticism in university but nowadays I work in the media sphere as an Information Architect. I love words and using them in the right way. I like simplicity and the lack of inhibitions. I am fond of jazz music, traveling East, nature, and the ability to remain silent. Sometimes I write poetry in Bulgarian and sometimes I’m taking digital photos.  I love images. I am not a professional photographer and the photos I display here are not trying to mean anything to anyone. I just fell in love with film photography. Especially toy camera film photography. People would say that my hobby is Lomography, and they would be right, but I’d go further and compare toy camera photographs to poetry. Moving poetry. Captured poetry. Simply, poetry of images.

In 2009 I started a daily toy and vintage camera blog here . Since then I’ve come to realize that photos need more space, so I decided to change the format a little and I moved to my own domain. Photography, very much like writing, is a solitary activity. Even when you share your work with others, what you show them is a replica of a moment which you experienced while being alone – you saw something alone and you shot it; you felt something alone and you wrote about it. And still, sharing remains a highly important thing for me and my work. That’s why I will be delighted to get and read your comments.

I love all things analogue and like things that I can touch. Still, you can find me on Facebook and Twitter and I will return email sent to lomovera at gmail dot com.
