So rad to chat with Birgit, she shared how she got started with photography and her very lucky path to @lomographyusa in New York. We talked about different film types and imagined some great films that maybe one day Lomography could be convinced to put into production. Some of you were curious about the status of the Graflok back so Birgit shared what insight she could on that. Then we wrapped up with how amazing the film community is and how there are so many rad people that make it up. Thank you to everyone who tuned in and to Birgit for sharing some time with us. Here's a little more about Birgit in her own words.

"I'm Birgit Buchart, 29, a photographer and writer, originally from Salzburg, Austria, now based in Brooklyn, NY.

I've always loved taking photos but only through an internship at the Lomography Headquarters in Vienna, Austria, I fully discovered my passion and enthusiasm for film photography in particular. In 2018 I got really lucky and was given the opportunity to transfer for Lomography to NYC and am now the General Manager and Marketing/PR Manager for Lomography USA."
