Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

What do Pulp, Brian Eno, and Yasser Arafat have in common? Answer: they are all the proud possessors of a practically invisible, pretty automatic, super-tiny, nearly silent camera from Russia. As lomographers, their aim is to take as many lomographs as possible in the most unlikely situations and from the most unusual positions. The lomographs are then collected and assembled into lomowalls (above). It's fitting then, that Britain's first ever lomo exhibition is launched this week at London's Blue Note Gallery, featuring 20,000 lomographs, from local work to lomo-imports from around the world. Can't wait to see Yasser's contribution.

Blue Note Gallery, 1 Hoxton Square, N1 (0171-729 8440) 6 Apr-1 May
