If you attended even just one of the many music festivals this summer you would have noticed something: film cameras are cool with the hip kids again. Personally I'm just not interested in ‘cool' if it's not fun, and I've realised that it's hard to find anything more fun or cool than having a retro film camera in your hand on long summer days.

The problem is, what to do with all of these photos once you've taken them? Please don't let them sit in your cupboard. Just submit them to the latest Nine Lives exhibition, Viewfinder, where they're accepting everyone and anyone's rad photos taken with a Polaroid, Holga, Demekin, Blackbird, old SLR or any Lomo. Check out the website for full terms and conditions, but you can submit up to five photos and they have to be in by close of business Monday Feb 9!

The Nine Lives dudes and Matt from The Outpost have also teamed up with Powershovel cameras for this exhibition. Come on, these people design cameras to secretly masquerade as books! Only in Japan, right?
